$FTAI FTAI Aviation closes
$2.0B warehouse financing facility for 2026
FTAI Aviation announced the closing of a
$2.0B warehouse financing facility for the 2026 SPV, the second investment vehicle of FTAI's Strategic Capital business. The Facility, which closed on August 14, was syndicated among 13 financial institutions and includes a
$1.0B accordion feature that provides for potential total capacity of
$3.0B. Proceeds will finance the 2026 SPV's acquisition of on-lease, mid-life 737NG and A320ceo aircraft beginning this month, with FTAI performing all engine maintenance through its Maintenance, Repair and Exchange business. With this closing, FTAI's Strategic Capital vehicles have now raised
$5.5 billion of warehouse financing in less than two years.
The Facility follows the successful deployment of the 2025 SPV, FTAI's inaugural Strategic Capital vehicle, which raised
$2.0B of equity commitments in October 2025. ATLAS SP Partners and Deutsche Bank served as co-structuring agents on the Facility. The lender group comprises ATLAS SP Partners, Deutsche Bank, Apple Bank, BNP Paribas, Citibank, Citizens Bank, Goldman Sachs, MUFG Bank, PNC Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, Standard Chartered, Truist Bank and U.S. Bank. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher served as counsel to FTAI and Clifford Chance US served as counsel to the lenders.
