IAT Leasing Limited has arranged the acquisition and ongoing lease management of a portfolio of ten Airbus A330 freighter aircraft currently leased to Amazon Air and operated by Alaska Airlines.[1][2][3]
The aircraft were purchased from funds managed by Altavair on behalf of funds managed by Blue Owl Capital, with financing provided by MUFG. IAT, based in Dublin, Ireland, will deliver lease administration and asset management services for the fleet.[2][4][5]
This transaction marks a milestone for IAT, introducing dedicated widebody freighter aircraft to its portfolio and positioning the company as a major lessor in this asset class. It establishes a new relationship with Amazon Air while strengthening ties with Alaska Airlines and expanding collaboration with Blue Owl.[1][2][3]
The deal follows IAT and Blue Owls January 2026 participation in the Rolls-Royce LessorCare+ program, further supporting their partnership and the underwriting of these aircraft.[1]
