AIP Capital and Bridgepoint Expand Aircraft Engine Portfolio

The engines, scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2029, are intended to be leased to a global network of airlines, maintenance, repair, and overhaul providers, and various aviation operators. This move builds upon an initial collaboration between the two investment firms and CFM International that began in 2024.

Mathew Adamo, Managing Partner at AIP, noted that the order highlights the reliability and fuel efficiency of the LEAP engine family. For their part, CFM International leadership emphasized that the agreement aligns with broader efforts to enhance aviation sustainability. The joint venture currently leverages the expertise of AIP Capital, which manages approximately $7.1 billion in assets, and Bridgepoint, a major investor with $98 billion under management across global markets.
