Avolon has released its update for the third quarter of 2025, reporting significant fleet activity and a series of major financing developments that underline its market strength.

During the quarter, Avolon acquired 17 aircraft while selling 15, closing the period with 60 aircraft already agreed for future sale. The company also entered into letters of intent for the purchase and lease of a further ten aircraft, reflecting sustained demand across its global network. From its orderbook, Avolon successfully placed eight aircraft, which brought its placement rate to 99% for all deliveries scheduled within the next 24 months, offering investors and customers strong visibility on forward commitments.

In a bold step to strengthen its position in the long term, Avolon placed an order with Airbus for 90 new aircraft. This included 75 A321neo aircraft and 15 A330neo aircraft, extending delivery schedules out to 2033 and reinforcing its strategy of investing in the latest fuel-efficient technology. By the end of the quarter, the company’s total owned, managed and committed fleet stood at 1,159 aircraft, incorporating orders and commitments for 522 next-generation models.

On the financing side, Avolon raised US$2.2 billion in unsecured funding. At the same time, it repaid US$829 million of existing secured debt and completed a US$1 billion tender offer. These actions not only enhanced the duration of its debt profile but also increased the proportion of unsecured funding within its capital structure, improving both financial flexibility and resilience.

Avolon continues to cement its role as a global leader in aviation finance, with its disciplined fleet management, robust orderbook, and proactive funding strategy ensuring that it remains well positioned for future growth.
