Crianza receives Structured Lease Deal of the Year Award

We are happy to announce that Crianza has received the Structured Lease Deal of the Year in the Global Awards 2019 from Airfinance Journal.

The Crianza team added three Boeing 787-9 aircraft on lease to Etihad Airways to its portfolio in early 2019. The Award for the Structured Lease Deal of the Year goes to the latest addition in the portfolio achieved in February 2019.

“The transaction was funded by First Abu Dhabi Bank, KEB Hana Bank and Woori Bank as senior lenders, while Korean institutional investors served as mezzanine financiers. […] The lessor also acted as borrower and entered into financing arrangements with senior and junior lenders – for both funded debt and interest rate hedging to mitigate Euribor fluctuations. The transaction was very challenging given the diversity of the participants, geographic locations and the overall financing structure.” (Airfinance Journal Global Awards 2019)

We congratulate all members of the project team involved on this outstanding achievement and would like to thank you for your continuous support and engagement.
