Joint venture between

A partnership built over decades

The mandate

Lufthansa Leasing originates and manages financial leasing transactions across Lufthansa’s global fleet – with €20bn structured and more than 600 aircraft transactions closed. For institutional investors, today primarily in Japan, the joint venture provides access to sophisticated financing structures around one of the world’s major flag carriers.
The partner

Lufthansa Group is Europe’s leading aviation group by passenger numbers, bringing together much more than passenger airlines: Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and ITA Airways; Eurowings; Lufthansa Cargo; and Lufthansa Technik, the world’s largest independent provider of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul. Financing this fleet means helping finance the backbone of European aviation.
Why it matters

Cross-border leasing at this scale demands deep knowledge of the regulatory and tax environments on both sides of a transaction. Lufthansa Leasing gives investors access to that capability, built over more than three decades of partnership and combining airline operating know-how with institutional capital-market expertise.
