AviLease

AviLease is an aircraft leasing company headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It was established in 2022 and is wholly owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. The company supports the growth of the Kingdom's aviation ecosystem as part of Vision 2030, and it aims to become a top 10 global aircraft lessor.

AviLease leases new technology Airbus and Boeing aircraft to major airlines around the world. The company says its portfolio includes 199 owned and managed aircraft, leased to 51 airline customers.

The company offers sale and leaseback financing for airlines, new aircraft placements, aircraft trading, pre delivery payment financing and asset management. In a sale and leaseback, an airline sells an aircraft to AviLease and leases it back on agreed terms. The company can also place aircraft in an airline fleet through its existing purchase orders with the manufacturers.

Asset management covers end to end lease management for aircraft owners and investors. It includes aircraft delivery, lease management through the lease term, and re marketing of aircraft at the end of the lease. Trading is central to the company's strategy, and it structures deals for single aircraft and for portfolios.

AviLease has offices in four strategic regions, with more than 80 professionals. Its headquarters is in Riyadh, in the King Abdullah Financial District. Its other offices are in Dublin, Singapore and Fort Lauderdale.

In July 2026 the company reported first half 2026 revenue of 391 million dollars, up 24 percent year on year. The same month it priced 650 million dollars of senior unsecured notes due 2031. The company issues senior unsecured notes and publishes half year results.

PIF is one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world, with more than 1 trillion dollars in assets under management across 13 sectors. AviLease says its approach combines stable financial returns for shareholders with sustainable country level impact.
