Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting
Basis of AccountingThe accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of ConsolidationThe Company consolidates all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest and control over significant operating decisions. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in entities in which it exercises significant influence, but which does not meet the requirements for consolidation. Under the equity method, the Company records its proportionate share of the underlying net income (loss) of these entities.
Use of Estimates
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications ReclassificationsCertain amounts from prior periods in the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to align with the presentation in the current period.
Risks and Uncertainties
Risks and UncertaintiesIn the normal course of business, the Company encounters several significant types of economic risk including credit, market, and capital market risks. Credit risk is the risk of the inability or unwillingness of a lessee or customer to make contractually required payments or to fulfill its other contractual obligations. Market risk reflects the risk of a downturn or volatility in the underlying industry segments in which the Company operates, which could adversely impact the pricing of the services offered by the Company or a lessee’s or customer’s ability to make payments, increase the risk of unscheduled lease terminations and depress lease rates and the value of the Company’s leasing equipment or operating assets. Capital market risk is the risk that the Company is unable to obtain capital at reasonable rates to fund the growth of its business or to refinance existing debt facilities. The Company, through its subsidiaries, also conducts operations outside of the United States; such international operations are subject to the same risks as those associated with the Company’s United States operations as well as additional risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, heightened risk of political and economic instability, potentially adverse tax consequences and the burden of complying with foreign laws. The Company does not have significant exposure to foreign currency risk as all of its leasing and sale arrangements are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Inventory, net Inventory, netThe Company holds aircraft engines, engine modules, spare parts and used material inventory for sale. At times, inventory is transferred to leasing equipment in connection with a rebuilt engine or engine repair. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenues
RevenuesRevenues are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers and ASC 842, Leases, unless otherwise noted. The Company has elected to exclude sales tax and other similar taxes from revenues.
Aerospace Products RevenueAerospace products revenue primarily consists of the transaction price related to the sale of CFM56-7B, CFM56-5B and V2500 engines, engine modules, spare parts and used material inventory, and are accounted for within the scope of ASC 606. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over the related asset to a customer along with corresponding costs of sales. In certain transactions, the Company may receive noncash consideration from a customer in the form of engines or modules. Such noncash consideration is measured at fair value at the time of the sale and is included in the transaction price used to recognize revenue. Aerospace products revenue also consists of engine management service contracts, where the Company has a stand-ready obligation to provide replacement CFM56-7B and CFM56-5B engines to customers as they become unserviceable during the contract term. The Company recognizes revenue related to these engine management service contracts over time using a straight-line attribution method and the costs related to fulfilling the performance obligation are expensed as incurred.
Maintenance, Repair and Exchange (“MRE”) Contract revenueMRE Contract revenue consists of the transaction price related to the sale of CFM56-5B, CFM56-7B and V2500 commercial aircraft engines and related modules to, and subsequent exchange of unserviceable engines and modules from, the special purpose entities (the “SPVs”) of the first partnership of the Strategic Capital Initiative (the “2025 Partnership”). The net cash purchase price received by the Company is contractual and customary market-based compensation for fulfilling such performance obligations. MRE Contract revenue is recognized under ASC 606 at the point in time when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the serviceable engine or module to the 2025 Partnership, along with corresponding costs of sales. Refer to Note 10 “Affiliate Transactions and Former Management Agreement” for additional information on the 2025 Partnership and the Strategic Capital Initiative.
Asset Sales RevenueAsset sales revenue primarily consists of the transaction price related to the sale of aircraft and aircraft engines from the Company’s Aviation Leasing segment. From time to time, the Company may also assign the related lease agreements to the customer as part of the sale of these assets. The Company routinely sells leasing equipment to customers and such transactions are considered recurring and ordinary in nature to its business. As such, these sales are accounted for within the scope of ASC 606. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of an asset to the customer along with corresponding costs of sales.
Operating Leases and Finance Leases
Operating LeasesThe Company leases equipment pursuant to operating leases. Operating leases with fixed rentals and step rentals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, assuming no renewals. Revenue is not recognized when collection is not reasonably assured. When collectability is not reasonably assured, the lessee is placed on non-accrual status and revenue is recognized when cash payments are received.
Generally, under the Company’s aircraft lease and engine agreements, the lessee is required to make periodic maintenance payments calculated based on the lessee’s utilization of the leased asset or at the end of the lease. Typically, under the Company’s aircraft lease agreements, the lessee is responsible for maintenance, repairs and other operating expenses throughout the term of the lease. These periodic maintenance payments accumulate over the term of the lease to fund major maintenance events, and the Company is contractually obligated to return maintenance payments to the lessee up to the cost of maintenance events paid by the lessee. In the event the total cost of maintenance events over the term of a lease is less than the cumulative maintenance payments, the Company is not required to return any unused maintenance payments to the lessee.
Maintenance payments received for which the Company expects to repay to the lessee are presented as current and non-current Maintenance deposits in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Excess maintenance payments received that the Company does not expect to repay to the lessee are recorded as Maintenance revenue on its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Estimates in recognizing revenue include mean time between removal for engines on leased aircraft, projected costs for engine maintenance, and forecasted utilization, which are affected by historical usage patterns and overall industry, market and economic conditions. Significant changes to these estimates could have a material effect on the amount of revenue recognized in the period.
For purchase and lease back transactions, we account for the transaction as a single arrangement. We allocate the consideration paid based on the relative fair value of the aircraft and lease. The fair value of the lease may include a lease premium or discount, which is recorded as a favorable or unfavorable lease intangible.
Finance LeasesFrom time to time the Company enters into finance lease arrangements that include a lessee obligation to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term, a bargain purchase option, or provides for minimum lease payments with a present value that equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased equipment at the date of lease inception. Net investment in finance leases represents the minimum lease payments due from lessee, net of unearned income. The lease payments are segregated into principal and interest components similar to a loan. Unearned income is recognized on an effective interest method over the lease term and is recorded as lease income. The principal component of the lease payment is reflected as a reduction to the net investment in finance leases. Revenue is not recognized when collection is not reasonably assured. When collectability is not reasonably assured, the lessee is placed on non-accrual status and revenue is recognized when cash payments are received.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit RiskThe Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk with respect to amounts due from customers and lessees. The Company attempts to limit its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations. The Company earned 30% and 20% of its revenue from two customers in the Aerospace Products segment during the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 23%, 21% and 13% of its revenue from three customers in the Aerospace Products segment during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company earned 11% and 14% of its revenue from one customer in the Aviation Leasing segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2026, there were two customers in the Aerospace Products segment that represented 17% and 14%, respectively, of total accounts receivable, net. As of December 31, 2025, there was one customer in the Aerospace Products segment that represented 23% of total accounts receivable, net.
The Company maintains cash and restricted cash balances, which generally exceed federally insured limits, and subject the Company to credit risk, in high credit quality financial institutions. The Company monitors the financial condition of these institutions and has not experienced any losses associated with these accounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Allowance for Doubtful AccountsThe Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the collectability of its leasing receivables, notes receivables and inventory sales. In assessing the allowance, the Company considers past collection history and specific risks identified among uncollected accounts. The assessment of collectability of its leasing receivables, notes receivables and inventory sales is done quarterly, on a customer-by-customer basis.
Cash Flow Presentation
Cash Flow PresentationIncluded in net cash (used in) provided by operating activities are inflows from the sale of engine modules and parts that were on engines originally purchased and reported as leasing equipment, net. The purchase of the original engine was reported as an outflow in net cash used in investing activities at the time of purchase through the acquisition of leasing equipment line item. As part of the aerospace products business, the Company breaks down generally unserviceable engines with the intent to manufacture modules and parts for creation and sale of new assets. To manufacture the modules and parts and bring them into a salable condition, the Company spends significant costs, often over multiple reporting periods, for new inventory and capitalizable labor (e.g., engineering) that are included in net cash (used in) provided by operating activities as components of the changes in the related working capital accounts.
Therefore, when the costs to manufacture the assets are greater than (predominant to) the estimated value transferred from leasing equipment into inventory, the related cash receipt has been reported as an inflow in net cash (used in) provided by operating activities.
Additionally, the Company buys inventory from third parties with the intent to use the parts in the manufacturing of the items discussed above, which is reported as an outflow in net cash (used in) provided by operating activities. When rebuilding whole engines for resale, for which the cash inflow upon sale is reported as a cash inflow from investing activities, the Company will transfer modules and parts needed (those purchased from third parties as well as parts from engines previously transferred to inventory from leasing equipment and rebuilt as discussed above) in the rebuild from inventory to leasing equipment.
With respect to purchases of aircraft and engines, when the expected predominant source of cash inflows from the acquired leasing equipment at the time of acquisition is from leasing activities, the related cash outflow is reported as an outflow in net cash used in investing activities. When the expected predominant source of cash inflows is from sales transactions, the related cash outflow is reported as an outflow in net cash (used in) provided by operating activities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsIn July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as apart of estimating expected credit losses, allowing entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2026. However, the Company did not elect the practical expedient or make the accounting policy election provided by the ASU and, accordingly, the amendments did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet AdoptedThere have been no other changes to the discussion of recently issued accounting standards included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Specifically, the Company continues to monitor the future adoption of ASU 2024‑03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Improvements to Reportable Segment Expense Disclosures, which has a future effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements and disclosures require the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Market approach—Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Income approach—Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts.
Cost approach—Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist largely of demand deposit accounts with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased that are considered to be highly liquid. These instruments are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical instruments and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Except as discussed below, the Company’s financial instruments other than cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist principally of accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, security deposits, maintenance deposits and management fees payable, whose fair values approximate their carrying values based on an evaluation of pricing data, vendor quotes, and historical trading activity or due to their short maturity profiles.
