Phoenix Aviation Capital, managed by AIP Capital, has successfully issued a US$592 million term loan facility. The proceeds from this financing will be used to refinance existing warehouse debt and to support the company's ongoing expansion efforts in the aviation leasing sector.
The loan garnered strong support from leading financial institutions, with Morgan Stanley, Citi, and RBC Capital Markets serving as joint lead arrangers. This capital influx comes amid a highly active year for Phoenix, which has secured over US$2 billion in funding in 2025 to grow its aviation portfolio in response to increasing demand from airlines seeking efficient, in-production aircraft.
Strategic Growth and Market Confidence
Jared Ailstock, Managing Partner at AIP, highlighted the significance of this milestone, noting that the term loan provides Phoenix with greater flexibility for long-term growth. He also emphasized that the support from major lenders indicates strong confidence in Phoenix’s strategic direction and market prospects.
This financing positions Phoenix Aviation to further develop its portfolio, bolster its financial stability, and explore new opportunities within the global aircraft leasing market, especially as investor interest in aviation assets remains strong.
