WILLIS LEASE FINANCE CORP

Willis Lease Finance Corporation is a leading lessor and servicer of commercial aircraft engines and aircraft, generating revenue primarily through lease rent, maintenance reserves, and management fees from third-party assets. The company operates a portfolio of jet engines from major manufacturers like CFM International, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce, deployed globally across numerous airlines and leasing customers under triple-net operating lease arrangements where lessees cover all operating expenses. Beyond core leasing operations, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary Willis Aero sells aircraft engine parts and provides lifecycle management services. The company finances its engine acquisitions predominantly through asset-backed securitizations, revolving credit facilities, and maintains strategic joint ventures with major partners including Mitsui & Co. and China Aviation Supplies, positioning itself to capture growth driven by fleet expansion and increasing adoption of operating leases over aircraft ownership.
