Florida-based aftermarket specialist GA Telesis is targeting further growth, including potential M&A deals, after raising an additional $650 million.

GA Telesis, which is active in MRO, leasing and parts repair and trading, said that proceeds from the new facilities will support strategic acquisitions, aircraft and engine asset investments, inventory growth, MRO expansion initiatives, working capital requirements and continued investments in digital innovation initiatives.

“As commercial aviation continues to experience unprecedented demand for aftermarket support, asset management solutions and capital deployment, this expanded liquidity platform provides us with substantial flexibility to continue scaling our business globally,” GA Telesis CEO and founder Abdol Moabery said.

In recent weeks the company has emerged as one of the frontrunners for a purchase of leasing platform Genesis, while in September last year it bought 16 aircraft from Merx Aviation.

It is also seeking to tap into the lucrative Chinese market, which is increasingly opening up to the used serviceable material (USM) that GA Telesis specializes in.

Aviation Week reported from Beijing on May 28 that Hong Kong-based MRO provider China Aircraft Services plans to launch an aircraft disassembly and dismantling business to increase the flow of USM into China. This is also the goal of the Airbus Lifecycle Services Center in Chengdu, which opened in 2024 alongside sister company Satair Chengdu for USM distribution services.

GA Telesis, meanwhile, recently signed a framework agreement with China Aviation Supplies, the country’s centralized procurement organization for commercial aircraft and aerospace equipment.

Under the agreement, both parties will leverage their respective platform resource advantages to pursue strategic cooperation across several key areas, including aviation materials support, major component leasing and distribution, MRO services and overseas asset management and support.
