ORGANIZATION
1. ORGANIZATION
FTAI Aviation Ltd. is a Cayman Islands exempted company, which through its subsidiaries, is a leading full-service provider for CFM56-5B, CFM56-7B and V2500 aircraft engines, which power the majority of the world’s fleet of narrowbody aircraft. We own and lease aircraft and engines to airlines and asset owners globally. Additionally, we repair and sell refurbished engines and aftermarket components of engines as well as develop and manufacture Parts Manufacturer Approval (“PMA”) parts through a joint venture.
We conduct engine maintenance at our 100% owned facilities in Montréal and Miami, as well as through our 50% equity ownership in QuickTurn Europe, located in Rome. Collectively, these facilities span over 900,000 square feet equipped with advanced tooling, engine test cells, and engineering capabilities to support a wide range of component repairs and service requirements. In addition, we also support global operations through exclusive arrangements and strategic partnerships at key locations worldwide. Our principal corporate location is in New York City, and we have a global presence through our offices in Cardiff, Dubai, Dublin and Singapore, in addition to Montréal, Miami and Rome.
The majority of our target customers are small and medium sized airlines which have narrowbody fleets powered by CFM56-5B, CFM56-7B and V2500 engines. There are hundreds of these operators worldwide, which creates a large addressable market in which FTAI focuses and can provide significant value versus competitors.
We have two reportable segments, (i) Aviation Leasing and (ii) Aerospace Products (see Note 12).
Except as otherwise specified, “we”, “us”, “our”, “FTAI”, “FTAI Aviation” or “the Company” refer to us and our consolidated subsidiaries.
Prior to May 28, 2024, FTAI Aviation Ltd. operated under a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with FIG LLC (the “Former Manager”), and Fortress Worldwide Transportation and Infrastructure Master GP LLC (the “Master GP”), each an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”). For their services, the Former Manager was entitled to management fees and the Master GP was entitled to certain incentive allocations, both defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Management Agreement. On May 28, 2024, the Company entered into an Internalization Agreement with the Former Manager and the Master GP (the “Internalization Agreement”), pursuant to which the Management Agreement was terminated effective May 28, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), except that certain indemnification and other obligations survive, and the Company internalized its management functions (such transactions, the “Internalization”). As a result of the Internalization, the Company ceased to be externally managed and operates as an internally managed company. In connection with the termination of the Management Agreement, the Company (i) agreed to pay the Former Manager (for itself and on behalf of the Master GP, as applicable) $150.0 million (the “Cash Consideration”), the compensation accrued and payable, but not yet paid, under the Management Agreement, and the expenses that were reimbursable, but not yet reimbursed, under the Management Agreement; (ii) issued to the Former Manager (for itself and on behalf of the Master GP, as applicable) 1,866,949 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Share Consideration”); and (iii) purchased from Master GP all of its partnership interests in FTAI Aviation Holdco Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for $30 thousand. In addition, the Former Manager repaid to the Company certain annual bonus payments due to certain employees of the Former Manager or its affiliates who provide services to the Company with respect to the 2024 calendar year on a pro rata basis. The Company financed the cash payments through one or more debt financings, along with cash on hand.
On May 28, 2024, the Company also entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) with the Former Manager. Under the Transition Services Agreement, the Former Manager was required to continue to provide the Company and its affiliates with all of the services provided by the Former Manager to the Company and its affiliates immediately prior to May 28, 2024 (the “Services”) for a transition period until October 31, 2024, during which the Company procured replacements for the Services. In addition, the Former Manager was required to continue to provide the services that were reasonably required by the Company to prepare its quarterly and annual financial statements until May 31, 2025. The Services were provided to the Company for a fee equal to the Former Manager’s cost of providing the Services, plus a mark-up of ten percent (10%).
