Avolon

Avolon invests exclusively in modern, fuel-efficient aircraft with the ability to retain the highest residual values over the long-term. Having a forward delivery stream of high-quality new aircraft as a proportion of its portfolio complements Avolon's sale and leaseback and other financing capabilities and reflects Avolon's market positioning as a full-service aircraft lessor. Avolon's committed fleet now stands at 150 aircraft and is currently the youngest large lessor fleet in the world.

Avolon is owned by leading international investors: the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, CVC Capital Partners, Cinven and Oak Hill Capital Partners.
