The widebody will be disassembled in the US to provide high-quality serviceable material for AerFin’s global customer base.

Auvinash Narayen, Chief Investment Officer at AerFin, at AerFin, commented: “This latest acquisition underlines our long-term commitment to supporting airline customers in the Asia Pacific region. By extending the life of these high-value assets, we are helping operators reduce costs and strengthen supply chains with sustainable solutions. We are proud to work alongside our partners on this project and look forward to continuing to build trusted partnerships across the region.” 

"On this project and look forward to continuing to build trusted partnerships across the region.”

This acquisition reflects AerFin’s commitment to proactively supporting the global demand for B777 material, especially for the 777-300ER.

Auvinash added: "The B777-300ER isn’t expected to retire at the same pace as older 777-200 or 777-300 variants. AerFin’s outlook is that while legacy B777 aircraft will continue to phase out, the 300ER is a different proposition entirely. It is a proven workhorse with years of service ahead and AerFin is well positioned to offer tailored support to operators of this platform.”
