## Description

LCI Aviation is a leading aviation company that has been in operation since 2004. With over US$10 billion in transactions, LCI specializes in the leasing of fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and advanced air mobility solutions. Their leasing services are offered to a wide range of customers including airlines, freight carriers, and helicopter operators. Notable clients such as British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Air France have trusted LCI with their leasing needs. Additionally, major helicopter operators like Babcock, Bristow, and Omni have also benefited from LCI's expertise. LCI currently operates a fleet of approximately 160 helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, with an additional 173 on order. Their experienced management team has close connections with aircraft and engine manufacturers, as well as major financial institutions. Over the years, LCI has implemented successful investment and divestment strategies, strategically timing their aircraft investments with market cycles. This includes a US$1 billion fleet divestment in 2007 and significant fleet investment and divestment cycles totaling US$4.8 billion from 2008 to 2020. In recent years, LCI has expanded into the rotary-wing aircraft sector and re-entered the fixed-wing market. They acquired an Airbus A330-300 commercial aircraft and partnered with companies like BETA Technologies and Elroy Air to acquire cutting-edge electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. LCI Aviation is owned by Libra Group, an international business group, and Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing Company, Limited (SMFL). With their impressive track record and strong industry connections, LCI Aviation is a trusted name in aviation leasing.
