Aviation Capital Group (ACG) has signed definitive agreements with Avolon Aerospace Leasing (Avolon) to acquire a portfolio of 24 aircraft.
The portfolio comprises 18 narrow-body aircraft, including 12 new-technology models, and six wide-body aircraft, all of which are new technology. As of February 1, 2026, the portfolio has an average age of approximately four and a half years and an average remaining lease term of around 8.9 years. The aircraft are leased to 17 airlines across 16 countries, including four airlines that are new customers for ACG.
Thomas Baker, CEO and President of ACG, said that proactive aircraft trading remains a core pillar of the company’s growth strategy. He noted that the acquisition of 24 in-demand aircraft further strengthens ACG’s portfolio, supports its ambition to operate at scale as a global lessor, and enhances the sustainability of its fleet, which is already among the youngest in the industry. He also thanked Avolon for its collaboration on the transaction.
Ross O’Connor, Chief Financial Officer at Avolon, said the latest portfolio transaction further extends the relationship between the two companies and demonstrates ACG’s ability to execute aircraft trading at scale. He added that the deal builds on Avolon’s strong trading performance in 2025, reflecting continued robust demand for its assets.
The transaction follows ACG’s acquisition of a 19-aircraft portfolio from Avolon in 2025, further reinforcing the established trading relationship between the two lessors.
