Aviation Capital Group Reports Second Quarter Activity
Dépèche transmise le 3 août 2009 par Business Wire
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aviation Capital Group (ACG), one of the world’s Top Tier lessors, today reported its 2009 second quarter leasing, sales and financing activity.
The quarter was highlighted by two strategic initiatives. The first was a commitment by the U.S. Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) to participate in a new financing structure valued at nearly $900 million for 22 Boeing 737NGs to be delivered over the next two years. The structure involves an Ex-Im guarantee for bonds issued by U.S. investment banks, providing a new source of liquidity to the aviation capital market that has not been seen since the global financial crisis began last September. ACG is the first lessor to use this structure, reflecting on the company’s sound financial standing and operating business plan.
The second strategic initiative was the creation of a joint venture with Egyptian government agencies and companies to create CIAF-Leasing, serving the Middle East and North African (MENA) regions. Operations of this company are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter. ACG serves as manager of CIAF, which will extend ACG’s reach into the MENA regions.
Full details of the Ex-Im and CIAF initiatives may be found on ACG’s Newsroom website at www.aviationcapital.com.
