About Willis Lease Finance

Willis Lease rents jet engines to airlines. This helps airlines keep flying during repairs. It also sells used parts to airplane mechanics.

What Willis Keeps in the Air

  • Leasing and Related Operations: Rents commercial aircraft and engines to airlines and repair shops; accounted for 94.9% of revenue in 2025.
  • Spare Parts Sales: Sells used engine parts and materials through its subsidiary to maximize the value of older equipment.
  • Technical Services: Provides engine management, consulting, and maintenance services for other aircraft and engine owners.

Scaling Up and Teaming Up

  • Closed the WEST VIII and WEST IX debt offerings in 2025 to raise $988.9 million for engine purchases.
  • Formed the Willis Global Engine Testing joint venture in 2025 to build a new engine test facility in Florida.
  • Launched a new investment partnership with Liberty Mutual Investments in December 2025 to fund $600 million in engine loans.
  • Started a partnership with Blackstone Credit & Insurance in December 2025 to deploy $1 billion into aircraft engines.

How Willis Stands Out

Willis manages a global portfolio of aircraft equipment, serving 69 customers across 37 countries as of December 2025. The company uses a vertically-integrated model to turn older, retired engines into a source of serviceable spare parts.

A Look at the Ledger

  • Revenue reached $187.7 million in Q4 2025, up 22.9% from Q4 2024.
  • Operating income reached $49.7 million in Q4 2025, up 69.2% from $29.4 million in Q4 2024.
  • Net income was $12.2 million in Q4 2025, down 42.1% from $21.1 million in Q4 2024.
  • Free cash flow was negative $147.7 million in Q4 2025, an improvement from negative $287 million in Q4 2024.

The Long-Term View

Willis has transformed from a traditional leasing firm into a specialized service provider for the aviation lifecycle. Its expansion into large-scale investment partnerships indicates a strategic shift toward managing third-party capital for growth.
