Precision. Partnership. Performance. Avtrac: Leading Technical Asset Management in Aircraft Portfolio Trades

In today's dynamic aircraft leasing environment, large-scale portfolio trades are increasingly commonplace. For lessors, success in these high-stakes transactions hinges on more than just financial modeling—it depends on seamless coordination with operators, rigorous due diligence, and a nuanced understanding of aircraft lifecycles.

That's where Avtrac excels. As a trusted technical asset management partner, we've helped execute hundreds of portfolio trades for leading aviation lessors such as Aviation Capital Group, Aero Equity Industrial Partners, and others. Our unique strength lies in bridging lessors and operators to enable unobtrusive transitions while preserving asset value and maximizing long-term ROI.

Navigating the Complexities of Modern Aircraft Trading

The current aircraft trading landscape is marked by both opportunity and heightened execution risk. According to Ishka, while there's an influx of capital into the secondary market, sellers face challenges as some buyers, particularly those backed by new equity, may withdraw from deals due to shifting investment priorities. This underscores the importance of partnering with experienced firms that can navigate these complexities effectively.

Recent ventures, such as the partnership between AIP Capital and Monroe Capital to acquire a diversified aircraft leasing portfolio worth up to US$1 billion, highlight the growing interest and investment in the sector.

The Avtrac Advantage in Portfolio Trades

At the core of every successful aircraft tranche acquisition or divestment are three critical components:

1. Precision Due Diligence & Operator Relationships

Operators value consistency. During a lessor-to-lessor trade, they expect uninterrupted operations and minimal disruption. Avtrac's seasoned project managers prioritize building or enhancing direct relationships with airline operators from day one—ensuring communication remains transparent, collaborative, and proactive.

We’ve learned that investing in this relationship early—through channels like mid-lease inspections—not only builds trust but often results in the operator being more willing to provide comprehensive records. These mid-lease engagements can also serve as symbolic gestures of goodwill from the incoming lessor, signaling long-term alignment and support.

2. Establishing & Enhancing Technical Records

Complete and organized technical records are essential to any aircraft transaction. Avtrac leverages proprietary digital tools such as the ARCS (Aircraft Records Control System) and the Avtrac Physical Inspection App to establish a baseline customized to the lease redelivery conditions and historical data gathered during due diligence.

This digital-first approach enables our team to identify and focus on gaps early—requesting targeted documentation or conducting supplemental inspections as part of our mid-lease inspection program. The result? A high-integrity records package that accelerates future remarketing or redelivery while safeguarding the aircraft’s long-term value.

3. Lifecycle Expertise, From Delivery to Disassembly

Since our founding in 1992, Avtrac has supported stakeholders at every stage of the aircraft lifecycle—from new deliveries and mid-life transitions to end-of-life disassemblies. This holistic perspective allows us to see the full picture, anticipate operational needs, and position each asset for long-term value maximization.

Whether the trade involves modern narrowbodies, aging widebodies, or early-phase teardown candidates, we apply the same level of diligence, transparency, and foresight to every transaction.
