Aero Engine Leasing (AEL), a newly established aviation leasing platform, has officially announced its launch, marking a strategic expansion into the global engine leasing market. Built on deep industry expertise and strong strategic partnerships, AEL will focus on delivering premium, asset-backed leasing solutions for airlines and operators worldwide.
Founded by a team with extensive experience in the aviation aftermarket, Aero Engine Leasing enters the market with a clear vision: to provide responsive, reliable and scalable leasing solutions tailored to the evolving needs of today’s operators. The company launches with strong momentum, supported by new investment, a growing asset base and a robust network of partners aligned in both vision and execution.
Aero Engine Leasing will initially focus on CFM engine platforms, positioning itself within one of the most in-demand segments of the market. The company has already reached a key milestone, with its first CFM engine deployed, signalling the start of active operations and portfolio growth.
AEL has set an ambitious target of 30 engines on lease or under management by the end of 2026, reinforcing its commitment to rapid yet sustainable expansion. A defining strength of Aero Engine Leasing is its close integration with Aero Engine Solutions (AES).
“The synergy between Aero Engine Leasing and Aero Engine Solutions allows us to offer something unique in the market. By working hand in hand, we can move faster, provide comprehensive support, and create smarter solutions for airlines navigating today’s operational challenges,” said Tyler Norman, President & CEO of AES and Managing Partner of AEL.
With a strong foundation in place and its first assets already in motion, Aero Engine Leasing is well positioned to become a trusted partner in the global aviation leasing sector.
