AerFin has announced a strategic acquisition of four A320neo aircraft in collaboration with a Middle Eastern investor. This move marks a significant expansion of AerFin’s capabilities in the global aviation aftermarket and reflects its commitment to sustainable, cost-effective support solutions for airlines, lessors, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers
The 2017 vintage aircraft, acquired from Aviation Capital Group (ACG), will be dismantled to supply high-quality used serviceable material (USM). This process extends the operational life of aviation components, providing a viable alternative to new parts for operators under cost and supply pressures. With the A320neo family recognised as one of the most successful narrow-body platforms—boasting over 10,000 orders globally—the availability of reliable USM from these aircraft will be a valuable asset to the market.
Through this acquisition, the company significantly increases its USM inventory, supporting the growing demand for efficient aftermarket solutions amid heightened interest in sustainability and cost reduction across the aviation sector.
Simon Goodson, CEO of AerFin, described the acquisition as “a landmark moment for AerFin” and emphasised the company’s strength in securing high-value assets and delivering innovation to its customer base. This transaction highlights the company’s ability to align strategic investment with the needs of a dynamic and evolving aviation industry, while expanding its global presence and technical capabilities.
Carter White, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Aviation Capital Group said: “This transaction with AerFin represents a significant step in the evolution of the aviation aftermarket, and we are pleased to have partnered with AerFin on the sale of these four A320neo airframes.
