DAE Capital

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise, launched 20 years ago with diverse goals, now focuses on aircraft leasing and MRO, but it might revisit its wider original vision.

Two big players have emerged in the aircraft leasing industry, and the pressure is now on for smaller players looking to keep up.

Pakistan carrier AirSial is further increasing its fleet with the addition of two more Airbus A320ceo aircraft.

DAE-owned maintenance provider Joramco is set to increase its capacity by roughly 30% this month as its new hangar comes online.

Lessor Dubai Aerospace Enterprise has signed two agreements to sell approximately 75 aircraft from its portfolio, with 49 Embraer E-Jets going to lessor Azorra.

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has completed the previously announced acquisition of fellow lessor Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) from NAC Holdings.

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise’s leasing arm has secured another $282 million payout for aircraft that were previously leased to Russian airlines.

Reports that the UAE-based lessor may look to offload the 80% stake it has held in the Jordanian MRO since 2016.

Aircraft lessors have benefited from rising lease rates, but slow aircraft production expansion and shifting U.S. economic policy are making growth harder.

Worries about inflation and tariffs could drive further consolidation among lessors.

Lessor DAE says it was able to compensate for a slump in Boeing aircraft deliveries in 2024 by tapping an active secondary market.

K2 Aviation, formerly branded as Kahala Aviation, is relaunching with a portfolio of seven aircraft it has acquired from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE).

The steady consolidation of the aircraft leasing market continued as Dubai Aerospace Enterprise announced that it will acquire Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC).

Joramco owner DAE said the Jordanian MRO provider contributed significantly to overall revenue group.

Lessor Dubai Aerospace Enterprise has received a further tranche of funds relating to aircraft over which it lost control following Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Two major lessors posted strong profits on the back of strong demand for aircraft in recent months driven, at least in part, by production and delivery delays.

While lessors have done well with lease rates surging, disrupted supply chains and other issues make normal business, let alone growth, complicated to manage.

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has bought a portfolio of 23 aircraft, including 17 from China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings.

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

DAE said the cash settlement came from Aeroflot’s Russian insurance company NSK and that it was “in full compliance” with all applicable sanctions.
