Global Jet Capital (GJC) has topped $4 billion in aircraft financing originations for new-production and preowned aircraft—a milestone reached a decade after its founding.
GJC was established in 2014 to focus on business aircraft financing solutions, and it grew rapidly with the purchase of the $2.5 billion portfolio from GE Capital in 2015. The Danbury, Connecticut firm has continued to expand with a global reach, as well as establishing offices in Zurich and Hong Kong.
In 2018, GJC issued its first asset-backed securitization (ABS) backed by business jet and operating lease loans and since has conducted a series of such transactions, issuing some $3.6 billion in ABS notes.
“Looking back on our journey to this point, one of the things I’m most proud of is the team’s&nbsp;history of stepping into complex situations and quickly removing obstacles and making&nbsp;deals happen for our clients and their advisors,” said CEO Vivek Kaushal. “As we celebrate a decade in business and surpass $4 billion in financing, these milestones underscore our firm commitment to leadership in the business aircraft financing industry.”

Issues regarding financing of aircraft; aviation insurance; tax issues for aircraft operators; new companies and people in the aviation financing and insurance industries.
