It was a privilege to work with WNG Capital on this significant portfolio sale. The transaction not only reflects the continued strength of the market for well-managed mid-life aviation assets, but also our team’s deep experience advising on complex aviation M&A transactions, and highlights the impressive platform which WNG Capital has built.”
