Meeting our customers needs.

At SMBC Aviation Capital, we provide the widest range of aircraft, engine lease and finance solutions to airlines and investors worldwide. We strive to deliver a differentiated experience, designed to meet our customers’ individual needs.

The services we offer:

Leasing Aircraft

SMBC Aviation Capital works closely with its airline customers to provide them the capital and aircraft they require to successfully grow their businesses. We lease aircraft to airlines across the globe, from long-established national flag carriers to dynamic start-ups. We are a solutions orientated partner with an emphasis on helping our airline customers manage their dynamic fleet and aircraft financing requirements.

Trading Aircraft

We actively trade aircraft to investors and if required, offer the full services of our platform as a lease manager. We also acquire portfolios of aircraft from investors who may be looking to realise their investment.

The many investors who acquire assets from us know that they will benefit from a combination of good quality, well maintained and well placed aircraft on good contracts. Trading helps us manage the metrics of our portfolio, including aircraft age, enabling us to keep our portfolio of aircraft assets dynamic, active and relevant to our customers.

Asset Management

SMBC Aviation Capital is a full-service leasing platform and we can offer these capabilities to investors looking to acquire, manage or sell aircraft. We currently provide a broad range of aircraft sourcing, aircraft and lease management, remarketing and reporting services to our investor partners globally.

Secured Aircraft Financing

At SMBC Aviation Capital, we have the ability to act as the single point of entry to a range of capital providers and aviation financing products through our integrated marketing process with our shareholders. Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and its subsidiaries can provide secured aircraft financing, export credit financing, Pre-Delivery Payment financing, as well as arranging Japanese Operating Leases together with Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Lease Co.
