Aircraft and engine aftermarket solutions provider, AerFin, has deepened its commitment to the global used serviceable material (USM) market with the acquisition of four A320neo aircraft in partnership with a Middle Eastern investor.
The move marks a significant expansion of the company’s inventory and underscores its strategic focus on supporting the operational longevity of in-demand aircraft platforms.
The 2017-year aircraft, sourced from Aviation Capital Group (ACG), will be dismantled to harvest high-quality components for reuse.
AerFin says the deal reflects its proactive approach to aviation asset management at a time when demand for cost-effective, sustainable maintenance solutions is outpacing supply.
“This is a landmark moment for AerFin and a testament to our expertise in the aviation aftermarket,” said Simon Goodson, chief executive at AerFin. “The acquisition of these A320neo aircraft highlights our ability to secure high-value assets and provide airlines with sustainable, cost-effective solutions. Our customers rely on us for quality, reliability and innovation, and this deal strengthens our ability to deliver exactly that.”
The A320neo is one of the most widely adopted narrowbody types in commercial aviation, with more than 10,000 aircraft on order. By targeting this platform, AerFin is positioning itself to support operators, lessors and MROs facing increased pressure to source parts efficiently while reducing operational costs.
“This acquisition is a strategic move that reinforces our ability to source and manage premium aviation assets,” said Auvinash Narayen, chief investment officer at AerFin. “We’re excited about the opportunities this opens up – not just for AerFin, but for our customers worldwide.”
The deal also reflects ACG’s focus on value creation across the full aircraft lifecycle. “AerFin’s innovative approach to aftermarket solutions aligns with our focus on dynamic portfolio management,” said Carter White, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at ACG. “We are proud to support this milestone initiative and look forward to future collaboration with the AerFin team.”
As it continues to expand its global footprint, AerFin says the transaction demonstrates its ability to identify and execute complex asset strategies that bring long-term benefit to the aviation aftermarket.
