BlueFive Capital has launched BlueFive Leasing, a new aircraft leasing and asset management platform headquartered in Muscat, Oman, in a move aimed at strengthening the Gulf region’s role in global aviation finance.
The new platform will focus on providing airlines with access to aviation capital while offering institutional investors exposure to commercial aircraft assets.
BlueFive Leasing has been formed through a partnership between BlueFive Capital and one of Oman’s sovereign institutions.
Alongside the launch, the company will begin fundraising for its first investment vehicle, BlueFive Wings Fund I, which is targeting more than $1 billion in commitments focused on commercial aircraft assets.
The initiative comes amid strong growth in air travel across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, where airlines are modernizing fleets and expanding routes.
Hazem Ben-Gacem, founder and chief executive of BlueFive Capital, said the launch represents a strategic step in expanding the region’s participation in the aviation value chain and diversifying investment portfolios.
“With our strong capital base and expert management team, the platform is well-equipped to navigate market cycles and seize opportunities in the dynamic aviation sector,” he said.
The announcement comes six months after BlueFive Capital opened its Muscat office.
