ITE Management Launches Aviation Lending Platform

ITE Management has launched ITE Lending, a dedicated platform providing senior secured financing for commercial aircraft and aircraft engines to airlines, lessors and aviation investors worldwide.

Backed by institutional capital, including strategic relationships with investors managed by BlackRock, the platform has already committed or closed nearly US$100 million in aircraft and engine financings. ITE Lending will provide financing across narrowbody, widebody, freighter and engine assets, with transactions structured around the underlying asset and lease.

Steve Mason, Managing Director and Head of Aviation at ITE Management, said: “The aviation finance market is best served by lenders who understand the asset as well as the credit. ITE Lending combines deep expertise in aircraft, lease structures, and market cycles with committed capital, disciplined execution, and trusted financing partners to deliver financing solutions with certainty and speed.”

Ryan Jasinski, Head of Origination at ITE Management, added: “Aviation borrowers have historically had to choose between lenders with capital and lenders with expertise. ITE Lending offers both. We can move quickly, structure around the specific asset and lease, and provide the certainty of execution that borrowers need to close.”
