We have advised Falko, a market leading regional aircraft leasing and asset manager on the Irish and Jersey law aspects of a US$672m financing facility for its Falko Regional Aircraft Opportunities Fund II.
The facility, which closed in December 2025, will be used to refinance existing debt and as well as finance further aircraft and once fully drawn, will be secured by a diversified portfolio of 68 regional aircraft.
The transaction attracted strong interest from the banking community, reflecting continued confidence in Falko's platform and the small commercial aircraft market.
Our team was led by Donna Ager assisted by Owen O'Hanrahan from the Irish law asset finance team, supported by Jon Le Rossignol and Elaine Kelly of our Jersey finance team, highlighting our strength in delivering coordinated cross border advice on complex asset finance matters.
Donna Ager commented, 'This was a significant and strategically important financing for Falko. The strength of lender support underlines the quality of the underlying portfolio and Falko's position in the market. Transactions of this nature require deep sector knowledge and strong collaboration across teams.'
Jon Le Rossignol added, 'Our combined Irish and Jersey offering enabled us to support Falko effectively on this financing and reflects our broader expertise in complex asset finance transactions.'
