Aviation Finance

MUFG has been involved in aviation for more than 30 years and in 2019 the bank expanded its global aviation offering, strengthening our team with the addition of highly experienced asset-based finance and aviation specialists. The size of MUFG's balance sheet and international presence, as well as our extensive expertise in capital markets, act as key differentiators in our ability to provide financial services to the aviation industry. Our team prides itself on tailoring solutions and supporting a range of clients on their journey from the inception of a transaction through to maturity.

Our global aviation team is based in New York, Los Angeles, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong and work seamlessly together to provide cross-border services for structured capital market products and corporate banking capabilities.

Our international network gives us a global platform from which to work and meet the needs of our clients, whatever their size and wherever they are based. We can serve airframe and engine manufacturers and traders, MRO's, airlines, operating lessors, and investors, supported by our three in-house specialist support teams – aviation advisory, asset management and research.
