16 March 2026 – Dublin, Ireland — IAT Leasing Limited (“IAT”) is pleased to announce its role in arranging the acquisition and ongoing lease management of a portfolio of 10x Airbus A330F aircraft, which are currently on lease to Amazon Air and operated by Alaska Airlines. The aircraft were purchased from funds managed by ALTAVAIR and were acquired on behalf of funds managed by Blue Owl Capital and financed by MUFG. IAT will provide ongoing lease administration and asset management services.
This transaction strengthens the cargo aviation leasing market, with the freighters continuing to support Amazon Air’s operations under Alaska Airlines. ALTAVAIR, a prominent aviation asset manager with offices in Seattle, Dublin, London, and Singapore, sold the portfolio after completing over $14.5 billion in aircraft lease deals since 2003. The deal highlights ongoing activity in widebody freighter leasing amid growing e-commerce demand.
