Falko, a small commercial aircraft lessor and asset management firm, has reported a “meaningful” trading performance for this year’s third quarter, backed by strong sales and leasing activity.
The UK-based firm completed nine leases of ATR72-600 and ATR42-500 aircraft during the quarter, with two customers located in Europe and South America.
On the trading side, Falko closed the sale of ten aircraft (ATR42/72-600 and CRJ200) and one CF34-85C engine to four separate counterparties.
Seven CRJ200 aircraft were sold to a US-based charter operator following aircraft redeliveries from a North American airline.
In addition, letters of intent (LOIs) were signed for the sale of 15 aircraft and the acquisition of 10 aircraft.
In total, Falko was involved in transactions relating to 44 aircraft and one engine.
“Falko experienced meaningful trading activity during the third quarter,” said Mark Hughes, chief commercial officer of Falko. “As we enter the fourth quarter, we are pleased to see the positive trading environment continuing.”
As of September 30, 2025, Falko’s managed fleet totalled 201 aircraft leased to 36 customers worldwide.
Falko is the world’s largest aircraft lessor and asset manager focused on the 70- to 130-seat aircraft segment.
Its strategy is focused on growing its portfolio of aircraft and the continued development of products and services in support of its aircraft lease management activity.
