Falko, a prominent aircraft lessor and asset manager specialising in the 70–130 seat commercial aircraft market, has released a summary of its portfolio activity for the first quarter (Q1) of 2025.
Throughout the quarter, Falko was involved in transactions concerning 38 aircraft. The majority of this activity was driven by lease extensions, with agreements for 28 aircraft being renewed. On the trading front, Falko completed the sale of one ATR 72-500 and entered into letters of intent (LOIs) for the sale of nine regional jets.
As of March 31, 2025, Falko's managed fleet stood at 213 aircraft, leased to 37 customers across the globe.
Commenting on the quarter's performance, Mark Hughes, Falko's Chief Commercial Officer, stated, “We are pleased to report strong levels of activity at the start of 2025. Of particular note are the number of lease extensions and aircraft trades – a continuation of the momentum seen last year and a consequence of the ongoing shortage of aircraft which continues to impact all parts of the sector.”
Falko is one of the longest-established lessors and managers of aircraft in the 70–130 seat segment worldwide. The company's strategy remains centred on expanding its aircraft portfolio and enhancing its range of products and services to support aircraft lease management activities.
