Alpha Aviation Partners

Alpha Aviation Partners is an aviation asset management company. It makes and manages investments in commercial aircraft, turbine engines and major aircraft components. Industry veterans formed it in 2013. Its head office is in Memphis, with an office in Miami. The firm manages its own investments in commercial aircraft, engines and components.

The company now focuses on engine and landing gear programs. Its principals have about three decades of experience as private investors and lessors in commercial aviation. They bring technical, financial, legal and commercial skills.

Its engine leasing options include short term green time leases and long term leases. Green time means an engine with plenty of life left before its next overhaul. The company also offers sale-leasebacks and end-of-life solutions. It leases GE, CFM, Pratt and Whitney and IAE engine types.

The landing gear division supports clients with the gear they need. It offers outright sales, leases, exchanges and repair management. The customer base includes airlines around the world, leasing companies and maintenance and repair organizations. Other institutional investors are also clients.

Alpha Aviation Partners is the asset management arm of the Alpha Aviation companies. It manages its own assets along with those of Alpha Aviation Investments and Alpha Turbine Fund. The Investments entities are the group's main vehicles for leasing commercial jet engines. They are funded by the principals and institutional investors. Both the investment entities and the fund work alongside the principals.
