Turning Rock Partners (TRP), a private investment firm based in New York, has closed an asset-backed financing through the acquisition of three Airbus A320neo airframes in partnership with AerFin.
"We’re excited to partner with AerFin on this transaction, which demonstrates Turning Rock’s ability to originate and structure differentiated investments backed by tangible assets,” said Turning Rock Partners’ head of credit Sha Khoja.
“This investment underscores TRP’s continued focus on sourcing opportunities in asset-heavy sectors where capital inefficiencies and market dislocation create compelling entry points.”
Under the terms of the transaction, the assets will be integrated into a structured revenue pooling arrangement, under which AerFin will manage the teardown, maintenance, and parts distribution processes.
“This partnership reflects the confidence investors have in AerFin’s ability to maximise value from next-generation assets like the A320neo,” said Simon Goodson, CEO of AerFin.
“Our technical expertise and proven track record in strategic asset monetisation enable us to deliver efficient, sustainable solutions that unlock value and create long-term benefits for our partners.”
AerFin noted that this partnership “further strengthens its leadership in the A320neo aftermarket and demonstrates the company’s ability to support investors with flexible, high-value asset strategies”.
