Description

BAVARIA INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT LEASING is one of the world's leading independent aircraft leasing companies, offering professional services in the field of aircraft finance and trade.

The company was founded as "Bavaria Fluggesellschaft" in 1958. In 1969 entrepreneur Josef Schörghuber, founder of the Schörghuber Corporate Group, acquired Bavaria Fluggesellschaft, merging it in 1974 with the domestic charter airline "Germanair". The company operated under the new brand name Bavaria Germanair until 1977 when it converted to the leasing business after the operational sector of the company was sold to the German charter airline Hapag Lloyd.

BAVARIA INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT LEASING understood the need of the aviation industry for manufacturer - independent financing as early as 1980, when it entered into its first aircraft operating lease for two Boeing 737-200 aircraft with UK based Monarch Airlines.

Headquartered in Munich, Germany, a qualified team with an extensive knowledge of the aviation industry provides two decades of dedicated expertise in aviation related lease and finance transactions. BAVARIA INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT LEASING offers a wide range of financial services tailored to the individual needs of its airline customers worldwide.

Today, "BAVARIA INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT LEASING" stands for a high level of recognized competence, professionalism and customer relationships determined by flexibility, consistency in quality and a standing dedication to achieving effective financial solutions that ensure customer satisfaction and mutual success.

Since the beginning of the aircraft leasing business, the company has experienced continuous growth and today offers a diversified portfolio of Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier single-aisle advanced technology jet aircraft.

The innovative spirit of an experienced team combined with the flexibility of an independent company and the constant ambition to serve the customer with the right product in the individual marketplace for his best competitive advantage is the driving factor of the company's decision making process.

BAVARIA INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT LEASING was the premier aircraft lessor worldwide to order and offer products such as the Boeing 737-700 NG and the Boeing 717-200 aircraft to its customers.

Projections of annual global air traffic growth of approximately 5% and a manufacturer's forecast of about 18,000 new commercial jets entering service worldwide over the next 20 years to accommodate such traffic growth, at a percentage exceeding the 70% share for single-aisle and regional jets, are key factors that will ensure the company's success.
