Lobo Leasing, a leading global helicopter leasing company, announced today the closing of a sale and leaseback transaction for four AgustaWestland AW139 medium twin-engine helicopters with Portugal-based Omni Helicopters International S.A. (OHI).

The helicopters are based in Brazil and operated by OHI affiliate Omni Taxi Aéreo. Working together, Lobo and OHI identified the sale and leaseback as a fast and efficient way for OHI to access needed growth capital from their existing fleet. The transaction further expands Lobo's fleet presence in South America.

“All of us at Lobo are very pleased to be able to establish a relationship with such a well managed and reputable operator as Omni,” said Bill Wolf, Lobo's chief executive officer. “Given Omni's high standards of safety, operating performance and market share, we are proud to add them to our growing portfolio.”

Pedro Doutel, group chief financial officer of OHI said, “We are very pleased to have established a new lessor relationship with Lobo Leasing. We were impressed by their knowledge of the industry and flexible commercial approach and it's great to work with a team who share similar market vision and corporate values to our own.”
