Aviation leasing company LCI has released that its parent company, the Libra Group, has acquired the minority interest in LCI Helicopters held by global investment firm KKR.
LCI’s rotorcraft fleet is focused on the latest technology medium and super-medium helicopters manufactured by leading helicopter OEMs including Leonardo, Airbus Helicopters and Sikorsky. These are in operation across four continents in multiple sectors including emergency medical services, offshore wind, search and rescue, maritime pilot transfer, and energy sector transportation.
The lessor has consistently grown in scale and value as it has diversified over time. LCI’s highly experienced management team has built strong relationships with manufacturers, customers, and leading financial institutions, and has undertaken in excess of US$8 billion of transactions in the fixed-wing and helicopter markets since LCI’s inception in 2004.
