Aircastle Reports $34 Million Net Income Amid Aviation Supply Crunch
Aircastle posted $34 million in net income for the first quarter of 2026, navigating a market defined by volatile fuel costs and persistent aircraft supply shortages. The Stamford-based lessor leveraged high demand for flight assets to secure $1 billion in new financing, bolstering its liquidity position.
During the quarter, Aircastle acquired four aircraft for $117 million while divesting five others for $114 million, generating $11 million in gains. With 98% of its debt now unsecured, the company maintains a liquidity cushion of $2.6 billion as of July 1. Management intends to maintain a disciplined capital deployment strategy throughout the year, backed by the support of shareholders Marubeni Corporation and Mizuho Leasing.
