BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- AE Industrial Partners, LP ("AEI"), a private equity firm specializing in Aerospace, Defense & Government Services, Power Generation, and Specialty Industrial markets, announced today the completion of a sale and leaseback transaction with Allegiant Air ("Allegiant") involving four Airbus A319 aircraft. The transaction is the firm's first aircraft leasing transaction made from its AE Industrial Partners Aerospace Opportunities Fund, an aircraft and engine leasing investment platform launched early this year.

"We are excited to embark on this partnership with Allegiant and to complete the first aircraft leasing transaction for our AE Industrial Partners Aerospace Opportunities Fund," said Mark Satran, Senior Managing Director at AEI.
