OUR STORY
Jetstream Aviation Capital, headquartered in sunny Miami, Florida, boasts a rich history as the world’s leading lessor focused solely on commercially operated turboprop regional aircraft and engines. Our journey began with a deep understanding of the unique opportunities and challenges faced by regional airlines.
Established with a clear vision, Jetstream has quickly carved a niche in the aircraft leasing market. We actively invest in turboprop regional aircraft, targeting Cessna Caravans, Saab 340s, Saab 2000s, ATR 72-600s, along with a diverse portfolio that includes, Embraer EMB-120s, and Pilatus PC-12s for both passenger and cargo operations.
Over the years, Jetstream has grown its fleet to over 150 aircraft, solidifying its position as the largest global owner Quality Regional Aircraft, parts and engines. This is a testament to our commitment to supporting regional airlines with the right equipment for their routes.
Beyond our aircraft fleet, Jetstream is known for our flexible and client-driven lease structuring. We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work in the dynamic world of aviation. By working closely with airlines, we tailor lease agreements to meet specific needs, fostering long-term partnerships.
In addition to leasing aircraft, Jetstream engages in sale and leaseback transactions. This allows airlines to free up capital tied up in their existing fleet, providing them with additional resources for growth and modernization.
Jetstream’s success is also fueled by our experienced team and extensive industry network. We have cultivated strong relationships with airlines worldwide that operate our target aircraft types. This deep industry knowledge allows us to anticipate market trends and provide valuable insights to clients. Additionally, Jetstream has close connections with manufacturers, investors, and aviation banks, creating a comprehensive ecosystem for regional aviation.
Looking ahead, Jetstream Aviation Capital remains dedicated to our core mission, empowering regional airlines with the optimal combination of aircraft and financial solutions to ensure their success. Our onboarding of ATR aircraft and expansion of cargo/freight options, and unwavering focus on turboprop leasing, ensures we stay at the forefront of this specialized market – keeping regional skies connected for many years to come.
