AELIS Group has arranged 15 transactions since 2014 and announces the opening of AELIS Group Asia

AELIS Group has enjoyed 85% business growth for aircraft sales and lease transactions in comparison with the previous year. The company is opening AELIS Group Asia, based in Jakarta Indonesia, to increase business development in the fast growing Asian region. In addition, the company is extending its reach into Central and South America and also into Africa. This year AELIS has been successful with the new business model “Aircraft Investment Solution”. It is a tailor-made benefit opportunity to bring the desired aircraft to the operator, and a foreseeable stream of revenue over a defined time frame to the investor.

“The 2014 season has so far rewritten the company’s track record. We have closed the most deals ever, expanded to new regions and our team has now grown to include more pro & dynamic members. We are especially proud to be opening our Asian entity in Jakarta this autumn because of the huge potential of existing and emerging aviation in this region. As far as our business focus is concerned, we´re proud to have become a global leader on the pre-owned ATR market, and of our VIP departments registered successes. Moreover, the goal for the next couple of months remains our turnkey real asset investment solution, which offers airlines and individual owners a wider choice of aircraft for operational improvement. The innovative concept of the Aircraft Investment Solution links private equity investors to Regional and VIP aviation, in a trustful and professional approach,” summarized Philippe Lienard, AELIS Group CEO.
