AELIS Group

AELIS Group is an independent aircraft specialist company. Its main office is in Bratislava, Slovakia, at Panenska 24. It also has a Dubai office, AELIS Aviation DMCC. The site says the first AELIS company was founded in 2000 by Philippe Lienard. The group works in aircraft sales, sourcing, transactions and leasing.

The company says it focuses on commercial aviation, especially regional aircraft and ATRs. It has two market segments, regional aircraft and corporate aircraft. It also handles other commercial aircraft and helicopters. It names clients and markets in Asia, Africa and South America.

The services are for investors and operators. The company advises on and structures aircraft transactions. It sources or places pre-owned aircraft. It structures aircraft leases with AOC holders. It also sets up investments with private equity funds and legacy financial institutions. For private and corporate owners, it sells and sources airplanes and helicopters.

The homepage has three calls to action. One is for investors who want to put money into aircraft. One is for buyers and sellers of aircraft. The third is about sustainability, where the group promotes hybrid-electric propulsion for regional aviation. The about page also speaks of regional aviation decarbonisation.

The group supports two charities. They are Red Noses Slovakia and, since 2023, Hale Malo, an orphanage in Nepal. The about page lists the team, including Philippe Lienard, Bart Matusewicz, Pierre-Yves Lazies, Thomas Collinet, Jean-Paul Toussaint and Tomas Urminsky. The office phone is +421 911 973 118.
