Falko Outlines Q4 2025 and Full Year Portfolio Activity
London, 28 January 2026
Falko, a leading aircraft leasing and asset management company solely focused on the small commercial aircraft segment, has provided a summary of its Q4 2025 and full year 2025 portfolio activity.
During the fourth quarter, Falko was involved in transactions relating to 43 aircraft and 3 engines. This comprised 8 aircraft and 3 engine sales, as well as the addition of 1 aircraft to Falko’s managed portfolio. Leases relating to 26 aircraft were extended. In addition, Letters of Intent (LOIs) were signed in relation to 5 aircraft and sale agreements signed in relation to 3 aircraft. 27 of the 43 aircraft transactions involved jet aircraft types with the balance turboprops.
Over the course of 2025, Falko successfully completed transactions relating to 105 aircraft and 5 engines. This included 83 lease extensions, the sale of 21 aircraft and addition of 1 aircraft to the portfolio. At year-end, 3 aircraft were subject to a sale agreement and a further 17 aircraft under LOI for either sale or acquisition.
As of 31 December 2025, Falko’s managed portfolio totalled 194 aircraft on lease to 33 customers located globally.
Commenting on Falko’s 2025 activity, Mark Hughes, Falko’s Chief Commercial Officer stated, “The level of transaction activity in 2025 was very significant, demonstrating continued demand for all aircraft types in our portfolio. In particular, the volume of lease extensions reflects airlines’ ongoing need to secure aircraft capacity in an environment where new aircraft deliveries continue to lag customer requirements. A particular highlight for 2025 was the closing of Falko’s inaugural Japanese operating lease (JOL) transaction in the fourth quarter marking Falko’s entry into the Japanese market.”
Mark added, “2025 was also a strong year for Falko in financing activities, raising just under $1 billion of debt across the platform including the recently announced $672 million bank debt facility. This activity reflects not only the depth and expertise of the Falko team, but also the strength of the long-standing partnerships Falko holds with our airline customers, trading counterparties and banking relationships. Together these relationships continue to underpin Falko’s ability to transact in a dynamic market environment.”
