Bain Capital has launched JB Aircraft Finance, a corporate jet financing and leasing platform designed to deliver structured financing solutions to aircraft owners, operators, OEMs, brokers and intermediaries. The platform has been founded in partnership with aviation industry experts Thomas Garbaccio and Brickell Asset Management LLC, combining aviation experience with investment expertise in the corporate aircraft market.

Focused on mid-life corporate aircraft, JB Aircraft Finance LLC provides a suite of financing solutions, including operating leases, financial leases and bespoke financing transactions tailored to the needs of manufacturers, owners and operators. The global platform is built by an experienced aviation team with expertise in aircraft acquisition, financing, leasing, disposition and portfolio management.

"By tailoring our financing solutions specifically to mid-life aircraft, JB Aircraft Finance, LLC is addressing an underserved segment of the market," says Thomas Garbaccio, CEO of JB Aircraft Finance, LLC. "Our immediate goal is to steadily grow our aircraft base and continue to build a highly diversified, industry-leading portfolio. By leveraging Bain Capital's more than 20 years of aviation investment experience, along with Brickell Asset Management's robust operational infrastructure, we are fully equipped to scale with discipline and deliver consistent execution."

"JB Aircraft Finance, LLC is addressing a clear gap in the corporate aircraft market by providing flexible, asset-backed financing solutions for mid-life aircraft, an area that has been underdeveloped compared to commercial aircraft leasing," adds Matt Evans, partner at Bain Capital Special Situations. "We look forward to supporting a differentiated platform capable of moving with the speed and certainty that our counterparties require."
