MRO Japan, an MRO provider based in Japan, has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Airborne Capital, a specialist aircraft lessor and asset manager. The agreement marks the beginning of a strategic partnership designed to strengthen MRO Japan’s end-of-lease service offerings for selected airline clients within Japan and parts of Asia.
Under this MoU, the two organisations will jointly provide a comprehensive range of advisory services to support airlines during complex end-of-lease transitions. These services will encompass records review, supply chain coordination, and detailed project planning. Airborne Capital will leverage its extensive experience in aircraft leasing and asset management to deliver project management and technical capabilities, further enhanced through the use of AI-driven technologies. Meanwhile, MRO Japan will focus on delivering its core MRO expertise and facilitating access to the regional aviation market, ensuring that the partnership benefits from both local knowledge and global best practices.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Yasufumi Yukawa, CEO of MRO Japan, stated: “We are very excited about this strategic partnership with Airborne Capital and are committed to achieving success together in the growing end-of-lease market in the region.” Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Ramki Sundaram, CEO of Airborne Capital, said the alliance “reflects our continued commitment to Japan and further demonstrates the breadth of services and capabilities Airborne Capital offers to support our customers.”
This strategic partnership is expected to position both companies as key players in the evolving end-of-lease market, offering airlines in Asia a reliable, streamlined, and cost-efficient pathway for transitioning aircraft at the conclusion of leasing agreements.
