Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced on Thursday the launch of the Aircraft Leasing Company “AviLease”, which aims to be a leading institution across the aviation leasing value chain, maintaining an optimal portfolio of assets with its core focus on leasing, trading and asset management services.
“AviLease” will initially focus on scaling through purchase-and-lease-back transactions with airlines, portfolio acquisitions and direct orders from aircraft manufacturers. It will also look into expansions through corporate acquisitions.
