AviLease

AviLease grew its revenue 19%, expanded its fleet to 202 aircraft, secured investment-grade ratings and supported Riyadh Air’s launch with key leasing deals.

Riyadh Air signed its first aircraft lease agreement with global aircraft lessor AviLease on Oct. 27 for a Boeing 787-9.

The 2025 edition of the Paris Air Show in late June only saw modest orders placed, with Saudi Arabian firms to the fore.

Hassana Investment Company and AviLease have announced a new aircraft leasing joint venture.

The order announced at the Paris Air Show includes 50 Airbus aircraft, which could increase to 77, as well as the purchase of A350F freighters.

Saudi Arabian aircraft lessor AviLease has placed its first direct order with Airbus, signing on for A320neo family narrowbodies and the A350F.

Saudi Arabian lessor AviLease has ordered 20 Boeing 737-8s and agreed to options for 10 more in its first direct order from an OEM.

Saudi Arabian aircraft lessor AviLease has raised $2.5 billion in funding, as it seeks to become one of the world’s top 10 aircraft leasing companies by 2030.

Lessors around the world completed a series of financing deals in recent days.

The aircraft leasing industry rescued airlines during the pandemic. Now lessors are rewarded through high lease rates and fast-improving profits.
