Willis Lease Finance, a lessor of commercial aircraft engines and a global provider of aviation services, closed two Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option (JOLCO) transactions, totaling approximately $50 million in financing. Both transactions closed in March 2026, bringing WLFC’s total JOLCO financing to nearly $150 million.
The financings support LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines with both transactions maturing in 2031.
“The JOLCO market provides the Company another term financing solution, allowing us to further diversify capital sources and to continue to offer competitive alternatives to our airline customers,” Scott B. Flaherty, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Willis Lease Finance, said.
