AerFin completes 2nd engine sale into Japan

AerFin has completed the sale of a second CFM56-5B engine from the A320ceo family to a Japanese company, further deepening its presence in the Japanese market. The transaction was advised by BeYoke Capital, a specialist in aircraft structured finance, which has once again played a crucial role in connecting AerFin with Japanese investors. A key feature of this project is that it goes beyond a simple engine lease investment. Instead, it’s designed as a commercial partnership between AerFin and the investor, Keiyo Gas Energy Solution Co., Ltd. (KGES), aiming for upside sharing through a lease-to-part-out with consignment structure. This second engine sale follows AerFin’s initial transaction into Japan last year, reflecting growing confidence and collaboration between AerFin and the country’s expanding aviation investment community. Simon Goodson, CEO of AerFin, said: “Completing a second engine sale into Japan is a clear sign of the trust and momentum we’re building in this critically important market. It underlines both the quality of our assets and the strength of the relationships we’re developing with Japanese investors. We’re grateful to BeYoke for their continued support and expertise in helping us grow in this market. This milestone aligns with our broader commitment to the Asia Pacific region, following the opening of our Singapore office and the growth of our multi-lingual team who are focused on deepening partnerships across the region.” Rion Sato, CEO of BeYoke Capital, added: “We’re delighted to have advised KGES and AerFin on this transaction. It’s encouraging to see the continued confidence of Japanese investors in aviation assets, and we’re eager to help cultivate further opportunities in this space for the broader Japanese investment community.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Matt Driskill at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Head of Sales Kay Rolland at [email protected]
