Falko Outlines Q2 2026 Portfolio Activity
Falko, a leading aircraft lessor and asset manager focused on the 50-150 seat commercial aircraft market, has provided a summary of its Q2 2026 portfolio activity.
During the quarter, Falko was involved in transactions relating to seventeen aircraft and engines.
Leasing activity focused Embraer E195 and ATR72-600 aircraft where leases were extended for three aircraft during the quarter.
Trading activity levels were robust, with the sale of eight aircraft and one engine to customers in Australia, USA and Europe. Sales were spread across Embraer EJets (E190/E170) and a broad range of turboprop assets which included DHC 8-400, DHC 8-100, ATR72 and ATR42. The majority of the aircraft were sold to airline customers. The engine sale related to a CF34-10E engine.
Falko also signed Letters of Intent (LOIs) relating to eight aircraft and six engines. Sales activity related to a further five aircraft — four Embraer E170s and one ATR 42 whereas the acquisitions are for Embraer E195s and CF34-10E engines.
As of 30 June 2026, Falko’s managed fleet totalled 183 aircraft leased to 35 customers located worldwide.
Commenting on the quarter’s activity, Mark Hughes, Falko’s Chief Commercial Officer stated “Demand for small commercial aircraft remains strong reflected not just by the lease extension during the quarter but more particularly the sales activity. We closed on five out of eight sales to airlines and all five aircraft under LOI are also with airlines. Of the completed eight sales, four of these were to airlines in Australia, where demand continues to be strong for both jet and turboprop aircraft.
We remain very positive about the outlook for the small commercial aircraft market in the second half of 2026.
