1.

Strong risk adjusted returns

Capitalize on the current market dynamics, characterized by robust air travel demand and significant aircraft supply constraints, which have led to elevated lease rates.

This environment offers the potential for attractive cash flows and returns.

2.

Stable asset class

Stable investment class offering historically predictable long-term value accretion driven by the Airbus and Boeing supply duopoly. Compared to other alternative asset classes, aircraft leasing can offer more stable growth across economic cycles.

3.

Low correlation

Aircraft investments demonstrate a low correlation with traditional asset classes like global equities and even with other alternative assets, offering portfolio diversification characteristics.

4.

Diverse risk-return profiles

Aircraft investing offers access to diverse risk-reward profiles via a variety of strategies that cater to different risk appetites and investment objectives.

The Airborne team has worked with investors from across the risk-return spectrum (including hedge / credit funds, private equity, insurance firms, and family offices), and have tailor made investment opportunities by varying aircraft types, lifecycle position, airline credit, amongst other factors.
