Aviation finance industry veteran Sam Harris launched JetLoan Capital, with Melanie Malanowski heading operations. The company is an independent aviation financial brokerage firm assisting aircraft owners with financing and refinancing jet, turboprop, piston aircraft and helicopters through its group of more than 100 banks, leasing companies and private equity funding sources.

With more than 30 years of loan origination experience, Harris has focused exclusively on aircraft finance since 1995. He started JetLoan Capital to better reflect what the company does as a fully independent loan originator.

Malanowski is an aviation finance specialist with experience in client relations. She joined Sam at JetLoan Capital to run operations and handle transactions from start to finish.
