DAE Managing Director Khalifa H. Al-Daboos said: “We value our very strong relationships with the global banking community. We had committed to repay the full principal amount in 2015 and we were able to deliver on our commitment. This reinforces our credibility with banks and further strengthens our ability to quickly finance large transactions with the assistance of our partner banks.”
DAE Chief Executive Officer Firoz Tarapore said: “Paying down the corporate facility coupled with the gain on sale of StandardAero significantly strengthens our balance sheet. Today, DAE is one of the most strongly capitalized aircraft leasing companies in the world. This balance sheet strength enhances our ability to provide large, custom-tailored leasing solutions to our airline clients on a global basis. Our current target is to double the book value of our aircraft leasing portfolio in an accelerated timeframe.”
