Miami-based charter airline GlobalX has completed its first aircraft acquisition, along with the signing of lease agreements for four additional Airbus aircraft, supporting broader company strategy.
GlobalX has acquired one A320, currently operating in its fleet. The aircraft was purchased from Falcon 2019-1 Aerospace by an affiliate of GlobalX, with financing provided by Volofin Capital Management.
“This acquisition marks a major milestone for GlobalX as we transition from an exclusively leased fleet to a hybrid ownership model,” said Ryan Goepel, president and CFO of GlobalX. “Owning select aircraft enhances our ability to manage long-term operating costs, plan maintenance and modifications more efficiently, and most importantly - build tangible asset value.
In tandem with the acquisition, GlobalX has signed definitive lease agreements from funds managed by AE Industrial Partners for four A319 aircraft to meet increasing demand across its expanding charter and passenger service business.
“These new aircraft are arriving at exactly the right time,” Goepel added. “They represent more than a 20% increase to our current fleet and are critical to meeting the growing needs of our customers and supporting our rapid scale in passenger operations.”
The first A319 is expected to be delivered on August 31, 2025, with entry into service approximately 30 days later. The remaining aircraft will be delivered sequentially, with planned arrivals on September 30, October 31, and November 30, 2025.
Pending US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and US Department of Transportaition (DOT) approvals, GlobalX will operate a fleet of 22 A320 family aircraft once the deliveries have been completed.
