Metolius Aviation Capital

Metolius Aviation Capital is a private investment group. It focuses on aviation, aerospace and capital. The company says it works through relationships and introductions. It was founded in 2006. The site lists the United States as its location, with a mailing address and no street address.

The company says its experience spans more than four decades. That includes airline operations, aircraft and engine asset management, leasing, cross-border transactions, private credit, structured finance and aviation asset investing. Its founder and chief executive is Shane Lundgren.

The site describes three areas of work. Metolius Aviation Opportunity Group makes short duration, asset backed investments with high yield returns. Metolius Aviation Financial Advisory Partners provides supply chain, inventory and receivables financing, and private debt for aerospace and defense businesses. Metolius Aerospace Ventures invests in new technologies and fast-growing aerospace and defense companies.

The company says it has placed $500 million of institutional engine financing. It buys, trades, tears down and sells aircraft and engine components. The site says airlines are running older fleets longer because of delivery delays and engine availability problems. That raises demand for certified used serviceable material.

The site says the company works with airlines, lessors, banks, MROs, aerospace companies, engine specialists and institutional capital providers. It says it does not offer securities to the public. Nothing on the site is an offer to sell or buy a security. Enquiries are reviewed personally and handled in confidence.
