Check in and take off
Investors in our aircraft funds bank on the potential of aviation. Over the past 30 years KGAL has undertaken numerous aircraft transactions and gained comprehensive expertise in the field of aviation. We concentrate our know-how in two joint ventures with Deutsche Lufthansa AG. KGAL’s financing competence combined with Lufthansa’s market knowledge and technical expertise ensure stable earnings from our aircraft funds.
Especially in aviation, a strong and competent partner is decisively important for realising investment value. KGAL has demonstrated its strength in over 300 aircraft transactions, 54 retail funds and over 30 private placements. The sustained and successful performance of our investments shows that KGAL is an efficient and reliable partner when it comes to investing in aircraft.
Many factors are decisive for success
Promising investments in aircraft require comprehensive market knowledge. KGAL relies on standard, marketable types of aircraft. Most attractive and desirable are regional aircraft as well as narrow bodied aircraft with a wide operator base. Sound structuring with corresponding securities and active asset management are also decisive for investment success. This is precisely where KGAL is in a strong position, concentrating all the essential competencies for a positive and lasting performance through two joint ventures with Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Lufthansa Leasing GmbH and GOAL German Operating Aircraft Leasing GmbH & Co. KG.
Partners in excellence
GOAL is the Lufthansa and KGAL joint venture for technical supervision and aircraft marketing in our operational aircraft transactions. GOAL also has first-rate expertise in aircraft acquisitions. Active management and close, ongoing technical supervision combined with seasoned administrative expertise ensure the value maintenance and marketing potential of each individual aircraft.
Growth market aviation
Aircraft will remain an attractive asset because the long-term growth trend in aviation is set to continue. With GOAL as the asset manager and a strategic alignment to sound, profitable long-term aircraft investment, KGAL is well positioned. We will continue to be a strong partner and create further attractive investment opportunities.
