Investment in Aircraft
Acquire aircraft that are liquid such as Airbus A320 and Boeing B737 (narrow body) that are widely operated inthe world and are easy to place with customers and move them to other customers at the end of lease.
When a good opportunity arises, we acquire wide body aircraft as well on a selected basis.
Timing is critical when acquiring aircraft as this impacts the aircraft residual value and return on investment. Weinvest early in the product life cycle - ordering new technology aircraft, obtaining favorable delivery slots andbenefitting from the long useful life.
Aircraft acquired with 20% equity and 80% financed by international banks and US and European export creditagencies.
Aircraft are leased to credit worthy airlines on long term Sharia compliant leases.
