DAE’s AIS reaches milestone in third-party aircraft under management

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has reached a significant milestone in the growth of its managed aircraft portfolio, with current aircraft under management plus mandates to source and manage portfolios for third-party investor customers reaching US$3.5 billion.

Since announcing the DAE Aircraft Investor Services (AIS) product in January 2018, DAE has grown its managed fleet to over US$2.5 billion today, managing four aircraft ABS securitizations as well as aircraft for several investor partners. Following the latest portfolio sale agreement announced in October, DAE’s managed fleet has grown to 75 aircraft. DAE will continue to build its managed fleet as it fulfills existing mandates from investor customers, growing the managed fleet to US$3.5 billion and well over 125 aircraft in the coming months.

DAE manages its aircraft for third parties using the full capability of its global and active platform but also offers investors an investor-focused service product in the form of its AIS team which provides investors with a single point of contact dedicated to championing their interests within the wider DAE platform.
