Overview

 

Perseus Aviation is a global aircraft leasing, management, and finance company formed in 2023 by entities affiliated with Apollo Global Management, Inc. For more than three decades, Apollo’s investing expertise across a fully integrated platform has served the financial return needs of clients and provided businesses with innovative capital solutions for growth.

Perseus has an open mandate to invest in aviation assets, with full flexibility across the spectrum of investment scale, duration, asset type, asset age and structure. We target investment opportunities that we believe are compelling and provide attractive risk-adjusted returns. Our team has extensive experience across all aspects of aircraft leasing, including origination, lease negotiation, aircraft purchases and sales, remarketing and financing. We seek to apply a rigorous underwriting standard, which focuses on the underlying intrinsic value of each aircraft, prioritizes capital preservation in downside scenarios, and contemplates multiple exit strategies for each investment.
