Here’s the Deal: Altavair

Every major airline leases a significant portion of its fleet. If you take two flights, at least one will likely be on a leased airplane.

Each year, over $100 billion of aircraft transactions occur, and aircraft leasing companies rely on asset-based finance for capital to fuel their businesses.

In 2018, KKR’s Asset-Based Finance and Infrastructure teams were seeking to deploy meaningful capital into the global leased aircraft market and entered a strategic partnership with Altavair, a leading player in this space.  The partnership’s strength was tested and proven during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In our latest "Here's the Deal" episode, learn how KKR’s long-term vision and patient capital enabled Altavair to survive and thrive through one of aviation's most challenging periods.
