FTAI Aviation Ltd. announced on May 22, 2026, the successful pricing of its inaugural asset-backed securitization, FTAI MRE 2026-1. This significant transaction totals $612 million and is backed by a portfolio of aircraft currently leased to 23 global airlines. The offering includes two classes of investment-grade notes.
This milestone securitization is a key achievement for FTAI Aviation's Strategic Capital vehicle. It demonstrates the company's robust position in the narrowbody aircraft market and its capability to merge engine maintenance services with aircraft ownership. The deal was significantly oversubscribed, reflecting strong investor confidence.
ATLAS SP Partners and Deutsche Bank served as joint lead bookrunners for the transaction. This initiative successfully diversifies FTAI Aviation's financing avenues and strengthens its standing in the capital markets.
