Aviation Capital Group (ACG) has successfully closed on the initial four aircraft from its acquisition of 20 aircraft from Avolon Aerospace Leasing. ACG expects to complete the remaining closings over the coming months. This acquisition adds to ACG's portfolio of approximately 500 owned, managed, and committed aircraft [1].In the second quarter of 2025, Avolon, a leading global aviation finance company, acquired 15 aircraft and sold 20 aircraft, ending the quarter with 54 aircraft agreed for sale [1]. The company also placed 26 aircraft from its orderbook, ending the quarter with 98% of its orderbook placed for the next 24 months. Avolon's owned, managed, and committed fleet stood at 1,076 aircraft, including orders and commitments for 442 fuel-efficient, new technology aircraft [1].
AerCap, another major player in the aviation leasing market, executed 116 transactions in the second quarter of 2025, including lease agreements, purchases, and sales across its portfolio [2]. AerCap signed 71 lease agreements, purchased 11 aircraft, and sold 24 assets during the quarter. The company also secured approximately $2.9 billion in financing transactions and repurchased about 4.7 million shares, totaling approximately $445 million [2].
Both Avolon and AerCap have shown robust financial performance, with Avolon's ratings upgraded by Moody's and Fitch to Baa2 and BBB respectively, and S&P placing it on a positive outlook [1]. AerCap's impressive first-quarter earnings for 2025, surpassing analyst expectations, reflect its strong financial health [2].
The acquisition by ACG signifies a strategic move to expand its fleet and capitalize on the growing demand for aircraft in the aviation industry. As ACG completes the remaining closings, it will further bolster its portfolio, positioning itself for future growth and profitability.
