RBS Aviation Capital is being put up for sale again, according to sources within the Royal Bank of Scotland. It is unsurprising. The lessor is a non-core part of the troubled UK bank, which is keen to divest non-essential assets to help boost its balance sheet in a bid to escape Government ownership.
RBS Aviation Capital serves 100 airline customers in 38 countries and has total lending and owned assets of $12 billion.
RBS tried to sell the leasing company in 2010 but it was put on hold.
