US lessor Bravia Capital Partners has formed a joint venture with Indian investment bank Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services “to serve the aircraft fleet requirements of the Indian airline market”. The two companies say the venture has an “asset footing” worth $1.75 billion, and more than $20 billion of potential deals. They say they will invest in commercial aircraft to be leased to, or financed for, airlines in India and be able to provide bridge finance and long-term leases.
