Aquila Air Capital Upsizes Credit Facility to $400 Million

Debt Financing to Fuel Growth of Lessor’s Leasing Business

DUBLIN – June 26, 2026 – Aquila Air Capital (“Aquila”), a leading lessor based in Ireland and backed by funds managed by global alternative asset manager Wafra Inc., announced today the closing of a $400 million refinancing and upsizing of its Warehouse Facility with ATLAS SP Partners (“ATLAS”), the warehouse finance and securitized products business majority owned by Apollo funds.

With this expanded facility, Aquila is well positioned to grow its already robust and diversified engine portfolio and pursue new opportunities across the market, including commercial aircraft powered by Aquila’s target engine types. ATLAS is serving as structuring agent and lead lender.

“We are honored to materially upsize our current loan facility to accelerate our growth trajectory with our trusted partners at ATLAS,” commented Gary Lew, Aquila Air Capital’s Chief Financial Officer. “The additional capacity, flexible structure, and competitive pricing highlight our lender’s confidence in our current portfolio and the future of our platform.”

Aquila has more than 130 assets and 25 lease customers across the world, with its portfolio consisting of widebody and narrowbody commercial aircraft and engines. The lessor maintains a high-quality customer base with strong credits. Focusing on in-demand asset types, Aquila will continue to capitalize on near-term leasing, trading, and remarketing opportunities.
