Dallas, Texas, and Toronto, Canada – January 7, 2026 – BeauTech Power Systems (BeauTech) and Porter Aviation Holdings Inc. (Porter) today announced the successful closing and delivery of six Pratt & Whitney PW1900-series engines under a multi-engine sale and leaseback (SLB) transaction.

Under the structure of the transaction, the engines were delivered new from Pratt & Whitney to Porter’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Porter Aircraft Leasing Corp. (PALC), and immediately sold to BeauTech. The engines were subsequently leased back to PALC and subleased to Porter Airlines, Porter’s airline subsidiary, for long-term operational use. The SLB agreement provides Porter with dependable engine capacity for its growing Embraer E195-E2 fleet, while optimizing capital allocation across its fleet program.

“This transaction supports Porter’s growth with a reliable, long-duration engine solution,” said Lee Beaumont, founder and CEO of BeauTech. “Porter operates one of the most modern narrowbody fleets in North America, and we’re pleased to deepen our partnership through another seamless closing.”

“We value partners who can operate at the pace our rapidly growing business requires,” said Rob Palmer, executive vice president and CFO, Porter. “These PW1900 engines are essential assets for our E2 operation, and BeauTech delivered the structure and execution we needed.”

This closing represents another milestone in BeauTech’s continued expansion in the next-generation engine leasing market and underscores Porter’s commitment to operating a young, fuel-efficient fleet across North America.
