Daiwa Securities Group and Airborne Capital have announced a transformative partnership aimed at expanding investment opportunities in the aircraft leasing sector, a key driver of Japan’s post-COVID economic recovery. The joint venture, expected to be named Daiwa Airborne, will combine the strengths of both companies to provide tailored fleet options and stable returns, setting a new standard in specialised aircraft leasing products.
As global air travel rebounds with expected annual growth of 3-4%, the partnership will leverage Daiwa’s innovative financial solutions alongside Airborne’s extensive aviation expertise. Together, they will offer enhanced leasing solutions to high-net-worth individuals and corporations, including Japanese Operating Lease (JOL) structures and comprehensive lease management services.
Ramki Sundaram, CEO of Airborne Capital, commented: “This joint venture formalises our existing collaboration and aims to merge Daiwa Securities’ strength in delivering tailored high-value solutions with our aviation expertise. This partnership will enable us to expand the offering of specialised aircraft leasing products in Japan, a key market in Airborne’s global growth strategy.”
