KKR has committed $1.4 billion to expand its global portfolio of leased commercial aircraft in partnership with Altavair, focusing on the growing market for airliners and cargo carriers, particularly freighters. This investment builds on previous commitments and reinforces their long-term partnership, leveraging KKR’s Infrastructure and Asset-Based Finance strategies. Altavair specializes in passenger-to-freighter conversions, primarily with Airbus A330s, and has successfully completed numerous lease transactions since its establishment in 2003, positioning itself as a leader in aviation leasing.
