FTAI Closes $2.0 Billion Warehouse Financing Facility for Strategic Capital's Second Investment Vehicle

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ: FTAI; the "Company" or “FTAI”) today announced the closing of a $2.0 billion warehouse financing facility (the "Facility") for the 2026 SPV, the second investment vehicle of FTAI’s Strategic Capital business. The Facility, which closed on August 14, 2026, was syndicated among 13 financial institutions and includes a $1.0 billion accordion feature that provides for potential total capacity of $3.0 billion. Proceeds will finance the 2026 SPV’s acquisition of on-lease, mid-life 737NG and A320ceo aircraft beginning this month, with FTAI performing all engine maintenance through its Maintenance, Repair and Exchange business. With this closing, FTAI’s Strategic Capital vehicles have now raised $5.5 billion of warehouse financing in less than two years.

The Facility follows the successful deployment of the 2025 SPV, FTAI's inaugural Strategic Capital vehicle, which raised $2.0 billion of equity commitments in October 2025. This deployment reflects the vehicle's position as a differentiated buyer of mid-life narrowbody aircraft, combining asset ownership with the Company’s leading engine maintenance capabilities.
