Avation PLC - Singapore-based aircraft leasing - Confirms that Philippine Airlines has not exercised the early termination option on its lease of a Boeing 777-300ER narrow body aircraft from Avation. The option has expired as a result, and the lease will run its term to December 2029. Avation says its confirmation is in response to a question from an analyst. It doesn't provide the value of the lease. Philippine Airlines underwent a restructuring plan in 2021 in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic but retained the lease on the Boeing jet at that time. "Avation intends to grow its narrow body aircraft portfolio in the near term," comments Executive Chair Jeff Chatfield. "Avation's fleet of aircraft is currently fully placed and being utilized."

Avation PLC - Singapore-based aircraft leasing - Notes that the commercial aviation market continues to perform well amid air travel demand, and restrictions on supply of new aircraft. Looking ahead, the company says it is confident in being able to place remaining aircraft in order book at sound lease rates. Executive Chair Jeff Chatfield says: "The commercial aviation market continues to perform well, underpinned by strong demand for passenger air travel and continued supply chain issues restricting the supply of new aircraft. Avation is working to improve shareholder value by repurchasing shares and reinstating dividends. Avation is well placed to benefit from supportive industry dynamics, both in terms of growth by the placement of ten new ATR aircraft which we have ordered for delivery between 2025 and 2028 and by remarketing existing aircraft when their current leases expire, Avation is therefore confident in its ability to place the remaining aircraft in its orderbook at lease rates which will generate value for shareholders."
