- FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NYSE: FTAIN) operates as a global aviation services platform focused on the acquisition, leasing, and management of commercial aircraft engines and related equipment, as well as providing aviation services including maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) for engines and components. The company offers core products and services such as proprietary digital engine control units, avionics upgrades, and thrust reverser solutions under its brands; engine leasing and trading portfolios primarily consisting of CFM56, V2500, and LEAP engines; and comprehensive MRO services for narrowbody and widebody aircraft engines, with capabilities in module repairs, piece-part repairs, and test cell operations. Headquartered in New York, New York, FTAI Aviation was founded in 2017 as a spin-off from Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC and primarily serves commercial airlines, lessors, and OEMs across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.
In the last 1-2 years, FTAI Aviation has pursued aggressive growth through strategic acquisitions, including the $1.8 billion purchase of AirCraft Services Americas in 2024 to expand MRO capacity, and the formation of joint ventures such as the 2025 partnership with ST Engineering for next-generation engine maintenance facilities. The company completed a major funding round with $1.2 billion in equity financing in late 2024 to support fleet expansion and announced the launch of its flagship "AeroBase" digital platform for predictive maintenance analytics in early 2025. Additionally, FTAI Aviation reorganized its structure in mid-2025 to create a dedicated Aviation Leasing segment following the spin-off of non-core assets, enhancing focus on high-margin engine services amid rising global demand for sustainable aviation solutions.
