Market

  • Regional and crossover aircraft are used for point-to-point travel or to connect smaller regional airports to hubs, providing essential infrastructure to mainline networks and greater connectivity of smaller communities to larger transportation networks.
  • Turboprop aircraft play a critical role in providing connectivity to remote areas by enabling airlines to serve rural low population density communities and in some cases to direct traffic efficiently into hubs using appropriately-sized aircraft to minimize costs. Their versatility allows access to challenging locations with shorter runways or different terrain, such as island communities and remote areas where larger aircraft cannot operate.

Asset

  • High capital intensity with contractual cashflow visibility, diversified lessee exposure, and contractual protections provide resilience across cycles
  • A modern, fuel-efficient fleet with established ESG reporting positions TrueNoord to benefit from advances in aircraft efficiency and growing SAF adoption
  • Constrained secondary market supply and a secured new-build order book create multiple growth avenues, including sale-and-leasebacks and mid-life aircraft acquisitions
  • An experienced management team with a proven track record of scaling the platform and actively managing risk supports continued portfolio optimisation and funding cost reduction
