Jackson Square Aviation to become a group company of Mitsubishi UFJ Leasing & Finance

Jackson Square Aviation will become a group company of Mitsubishi UFJ Lease & Finance Company, whose interests will be wholly owned by MUL. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2012, pending regulatory approvals. Jackson Square is one of the world’s leading commercial aircraft lessors, with a fleet of 76 next-generation aircraft valued in excess of $4bn. “We are excited to join forces with MUL,” remarked Richard S. Wiley, Jackson Square’s President and CEO. “Having the support of another major international financial services company enables us to continue to provide our airline customers with new capital to finance their next-generation deliveries.”
