“We’re excited to partner with AerFin on this transaction, which demonstrates Turning Rock’s ability to originate and structure differentiated investments backed by tangible assets,” said Turning Rock Partners’ Head of Credit Sha Khoja. “This investment underscores TRP’s continued focus on sourcing opportunities in asset-heavy sectors where capital inefficiencies and market dislocation create compelling entry points.”

Under the terms of the transaction, the assets will be integrated into a structured revenue pooling arrangement, under which AerFin will manage the teardown, maintenance and parts distribution processes. 

With logistics hubs and facilities strategically located in Miami, London, Newport and Singapore, AerFin has built long standing relationships with major global airlines and MROs, and has been proven to deliver exceptional part-out value and ensure high utilisation of harvested material, providing diversified exposure and steady cash distributions over the investment period. 

Simon Goodson, CEO of AerFin said: “This partnership reflects the confidence investors have in AerFin’s ability to maximise value from next-generation assets like the A320neo.
