Genesis has expanded its aircraft portfolio with the acquisition of 28 Boeing and Airbus aircraft from Airspeed Limited, managed by SMBC Aviation Capital.
The portfolio consists of 27 narrowbody aircraft and one widebody aircraft on lease to 18 airlines.
Karl Griffin, Genesis CEO, said: “Building scale has been our focus since 2018 and with this recent acquisition of 28 in-service aircraft we have added 14 additional customers and embedded robust diversification by aircraft type, region and counterparty to our portfolio of 73 owned and managed aircraft.
"We have built an excellent aircraft leasing platform which is delivering on our strategy of investing in liquid narrow-body passenger aircraft and maximising value across their life-cycle.
"Our team have deep multi-cycle knowledge of the aircraft leasing sector enabling us to underwrite larger, complex investments which deliver real value to our shareholders and positions Genesis to provide fleet solutions for our airline customers in the future.”
