Phoenix Aviation Capital Secures $592M Fleet Loan
Phoenix Aviation Capital has closed a $592 million term loan to accelerate fleet growth and leasing activity worldwide.
Phoenix Aviation Capital, a US-based aircraft lessor managed by AIP Capital, recently closed a $592 million term loan facility to support fleet expansion and ongoing growth initiatives. The financing strengthens Phoenix’s balance sheet and enhances its ability to pursue aircraft acquisitions and lease placements with carriers around the globe.
The deal signals investor confidence in the US aircraft-leasing market and gives Phoenix more firepower to compete for new deliveries and second‑hand purchases. While the company did not disclose precise aircraft types in the announcement, the infusion is explicitly aimed at broadening the lessor’s leasing pipeline and tenant mix.
Phoenix Aviation Capital: what this means for growth
With backing from this facility, Phoenix can move faster on negotiations with manufacturers and airlines, structure flexible lease terms, and support airlines facing fleet renewal or capacity needs. The term loan also underlines the continued appetite among lenders for aircraft-secured financing as air travel demand stabilises.

The financing will likely be deployed across acquisitions and leasing deals over the coming months as Phoenix scouts opportunities in both narrowbody and widebody markets. Managed by AIP Capital, the lessor joins a crowded field of US and global financiers betting on aviation’s recovery and the steady long‑term demand for leased aircraft.
Executives framed the transaction as a strategic step to boost market share and provide airlines with flexible fleet solutions. Observers say such facilities help lessors bridge timing gaps between orderbooks and airline demand while preserving capital for portfolio optimisation.
