A group of seasoned aviation finance executives have teamed up to launch FWCAS, a new aircraft investment and leasing platform.
FWCAS aims to offer customised aircraft leasing solutions to airline customers globally. Its fleet will focus on the “most desirable, technologically-advanced commercial passenger aircrafts, from Airbus and Boeing”. FWCAS stated that it will seek to actively grow its fleet and position itself to help customers reduce their carbon emissions by investing in the latest aviation technology.
The FWCAS management team comprises a group of former GECAS executives, led by CEO Jonty Nel, which includes Liam Creaven, who joins as Chief Technical Officer, Simon Siganto who will serve as Chief Legal Officer, and Pat Laffan as Chief Financial Officer.
Jonty Nel, CEO at FWCAS, commented: “We’re excited to return to the aircraft leasing market with FWCAS, where we’re investing selectively in the most in-demand, technologically-advanced aircraft platforms. We will help airlines provide an extraordinary passenger experience at lower operating costs, and with reduced carbon emissions.”
