KKR bets $1.4 billion on aircraft leasing, eyes airlines, Boeing and Airbus
Private equity firm KKR is investing an additional $1.4 billion in aircraft leasing through its partnership with Altavair. This move comes as persistent supply shortages from Airbus and Boeing continue to constrain aircraft availability. The firm aims to acquire aircraft directly from airlines and manufacturers, focusing on long-term leases with established carriers to generate predictable cash flows.
