Aircraft and Aircraft Engine Leasing Business

Based on our recognition of mid-long term rising air traffic demand led by growth in emerging economy countries, Marubeni entered the aircraft leasing business in 2010 and the engine leasing business in 2011. In 2013, Marubeni took a stake in Aircastle Ltd., one of the world’s major aircraft leasing companies, and in 2020, Marubeni completed full acquisition of the company by acquiring all of its shares together with Mizuho Leasing.

We provide the best solutions to meet our clients’ financial needs with our extensive product lineup.

Moving forward, in collaboration with Mizuho Leasing Company, we will further promote Mizuho Marubeni Leasing as a Marubeni Group captive business and expand our business domain in overseas markets.
In 2020, we also invested in AND Global, a company headquartered in Mongolia with a fintech development facility, in anticipation of growing global demand for digital financial services for consumers.
