Aircraft Leasing Company Plans Four Deliveries To Air France In
2011
Jackson Square Aviation ("JSA") late last week announced the
delivery of one Boeing B777-300ER to Air France, in connection with
a long-term operating lease. DVB Bank, AG provided senior debt for
the aircraft.
"This is the first of four 2011 deliveries we have in place with
Air France, demonstrating our commitment to provide capital to
airlines through bulk transactions tailored to each customer's
specific needs," said Chris Dailey, JSA's VP of Marketing. Between
this B777 and three A320s which deliver later this year, we are
delighted to count Air France amongst our largest customers."
Jackson Square Aviation is a full-service aircraft leasing
company based in San Francisco with offices in Seattle, London and
Miami, with an Asian office opening later in 2011. The management
team, which had previously worked together at Pegasus Aviation
Finance Company, has over 100 years of combined industry
experience. JSA's current fleet (owned and committed) includes over
60 aircraft valued in excess of $3 billion, originated via
sale/leasebacks with many of the world's leading airlines. Led by
the seasoned aircraft leasing trio of Richard Wiley, Toby Bright
and Scott Weiss, the team has collectively acquired over $10
billion of aircraft, has purchased and/or remarketed over 400
aircraft, and has developed relationships with over 30 commercial
lenders and investment banks across Europe, Asia and North America.
JSA's primary shareholder is Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., an
$80+billion institutional money manager based in Los Angeles.
