What We Do

Aviation Sourcing & Risk Management for Lenders

Our unique combination of aviation asset management, technical, valuation and financial advisory capabilities positions us as the technical partner of choice for aviation lenders worldwide.

Deal Origination & Transaction Due Diligence

We provide lenders with the independent technical and commercial due diligence required to underwrite new aviation debt, assess borrower risk and close transactions with confidence.

Asset Due Diligence: Comprehensive technical inspections, current and residual value appraisals, and maintenance cash flow modelling.
Borrower Credit Audits: On-site commercial, financial, operational and technical due diligence of target operators.
Transaction Sourcing & Advisory: Structuring guidance, review of transaction documentation and commercial risk input.

Collateral Monitoring & Portfolio Oversight

We provide proactive technical oversight and compliance monitoring to protect financed portfolios, giving lenders real-time visibility into operator health and asset deterioration.

Portfolio Surveillance: Continuous tracking of asset utilisation, operator financial health, market values and residual risk.
Technical Audits: Periodic physical inspections, technical records digitisation, auditing and secure archiving.
Maintenance Forecasting: Forecasting upcoming maintenance events to ensure adequate reserve coverage and prevent collateral devaluation.

Distressed Asset Recovery & Default Solutions

We support lenders navigating non-performing exposures, structured work-outs and enforcement actions. Our team manages the entire recovery lifecycle to secure the asset and minimise off-hire time.

Work-Out Advisory: Strategic advice on distressed exposures, restructuring options and recovery budgets.
Pre-Repossession Planning: Technical records preparation, data room development, asset valuation and soft remarketing.
Physical Repossession: Taking physical control of the aircraft, arranging secure storage, implementing CAMO services and managing technical maintenance throughout the transition.

ACMI & Charter Integration

We de-risk lender exposure by leveraging our live operational infrastructure. In a default or repossession scenario, we prevent the asset from becoming a cost centre by rapidly transitioning it into revenue-generating operations.

Remedial ACMI Sourcing: Deploying repossessed or off-lease aircraft into immediate global wet-lease (ACMI) contracts to maintain cash flow while a permanent sale is negotiated.
Remarketing & Placement: Managing competitive global RFP processes for the onward sale or dry lease of recovered assets.
Operational Continuity: Utilising our 24/7 ACMI and air charter desk to stabilise distressed operator clients within your portfolio, protecting your primary source of debt servicing.
