Talks on US$4b new plane deal
Print Edition
AUSTRALIAN bank Macquarie Group Ltd’s aircraft leasing subsidiary is in exclusive talks to buy a portfolio of new planes from Dublin-based lessor AWAS for more than US$4 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
Macquarie AirFinance is negotiating a deal for just under 100 newly built and on-order aircraft being sold by AWAS, the people said. Macquarie is working to finalize an agreement before the end of January, they said, asking not to be named because the matter was confidential.
Asia has become the world’s fastest-growing aviation market as airlines seek to tap into the rising spending power of the region’s travellers, attracting the attention of aircraft lessors and manufacturers.
Macquarie declined to comment.
Reuters reported in September that other suitors for the AWAS aircraft portfolio were Japanese firms Orix Corp and SMBC Aviation Capital, owned by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group.
