HALO AirFinance has closed a senior term loan secured by a mature Boeing 737-800 aircraft, continuing its financing activity with Crestone Air Partners.
The loan, announced on March 31, supports an entity owned and managed by Crestone and is backed by an aircraft operated by an established Asian flag carrier. Proceeds were used to refinance existing debt, as part of the borrower’s aircraft leasing portfolio strategy.
Marc Cho, co-head and managing director of HALO, said the deal demonstrated the platform’s ability to “execute efficiently and provide customised financing solutions” while supporting partners in managing aviation investments.
The transaction builds on an existing relationship between the parties.
In September 2025, HALO closed its seventh senior loan for Crestone Air Partners and Blue Owl Capital investment vehicles, financing the acquisition of a mature Airbus A320-200 on lease to an Asian low-cost carrier.
