AerFin, an aviation asset specialist focused on acquiring, selling, leasing and repairing aircraft, engines and components, has sold a CF6-80 engine to a Japanese investor. The transaction highlights sustained demand from Japan, one of the world’s most established aviation investment markets.
Japanese investors continue to participate actively in the engine sector, drawn by the strong fundamentals and long-term value of mature platforms like the CF6-80. AerFin’s expertise in originating, managing and transacting these engines establishes it as a trusted partner for those seeking reliable assets.
Auvinash Narayen, Chief Investment Officer at AerFin, stated: “We continue to see strong appetite from Japanese investors for mature, proven engine platforms. This transaction reflects both the enduring appeal of the CF6 and our capability to structure and deliver assets that align with investor expectations.”
The deal occurs amid heightened competition for used aviation assets. It reinforces AerFin’s position in linking global capital with aviation investments, backed by its market knowledge and execution capabilities. The CF6-80 powers widebody aircraft such as the Boeing 747, 767 and Airbus A300, contributing to its proven track record in commercial service.
This sale follows AerFin’s recent activities with CF6 engines, including leases to major airlines and acquisitions of powered aircraft, signaling ongoing interest in the platform.
