ALAFCO

ALAFCO Aviation Lease and Finance Company K.S.C.P. is a global commercial aircraft lessor headquartered in Kuwait. The company functions as a primary intermediary in the aerospace value chain, providing financing and liquidity solutions to airlines through sale and leaseback transactions, direct orders from manufacturers, and portfolio management. It serves as a bridge between capital markets and commercial operators, focusing on fuel-efficient, narrow-body and wide-body jet aircraft. Historically, the firm has managed a portfolio comprising Airbus A320neo family, Airbus A350XWB, and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Its customer base spans major international carriers across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. The organisation maintains significant relationships with major airframe manufacturers and has undergone a major transition period involving the divestment of a substantial portion of its assets to global asset managers. Prospective partners or buyers should verify the current status of the firm’s remaining aircraft portfolio and its ongoing corporate restructuring following significant asset sales. It is essential to confirm the legal standing of specific lease agreements and the technical records of individual airframes. Parties should also review the organisation's current ownership structure and its outstanding delivery slots with Boeing and Airbus to ensure alignment with future capacity requirements.
