Aviator Capital Management, LLC and Aviator Capital Aircraft Managers, LLC (collectively, “Aviator”) are an alternative asset manager and a commercial aircraft leasing company, respectively, with offices in Miami, Florida and Dublin, Ireland. Aviator invests in used commercial aircraft and engines under operating leases to airlines and operators in developed and emerging markets. Currently, Aviator manages four private equity funds. Aviator’s internal capabilities are an important distinction and contributor to its competitive edge in identifying, assessing, structuring, closing, and managing transactions. Aviator’s management team, including its principals who have separately managed a Legacy Portfolio since 1999, has extensive experience in aircraft acquisitions, leasing, operations, finance, and investor relations, and a network of strong relationships with global commercial airlines, aircraft lessors, aircraft brokers, and financial institutions. These, combined with superior aircraft and aircraft engine technical knowledge, extensive airline fleet planning understanding, and the ability to comprehend global aviation market trends, have allowed the core members of the management team to develop a full-service in-house leasing platform.
