ORIX Aviation is an aircraft leasing company established in 1991, currently with 238 aircraft owned, managed, and committed on lease to 54 lessees in 34 countries. ORIX Aviation is a 100% subsidiary of ORIX Corporation, a Japanese financial services group listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange with a market capitalization of $20 billion. ORIX Aviation’s stable shareholding is a unique factor when compared to many industry peers and demonstrates ORIX Corporation’s full support of ORIX Aviation’s aircraft leasing and asset management activities.

ORIX Aviation has offices in Dublin and Hong Kong and works closely with a team of aviation specialists in ORIX Corporation in Tokyo. The team consists of 100+ aviation professionals across the three locations.

In addition to our role as an aircraft lessor, we are also focused on asset management and aircraft trading opportunities in the aircraft leasing space while maintaining a very strong balance sheet and funding to support future growth.

Our trading activity supports both the growth of our aircraft fleet and the growth of aircraft stock to trade to investors / joint ventures for whom ORIX acts as asset manager. In financial year April 2018 to March 2019, we executed US$4.6 billion in aircraft transactions. In only seven years, ORIX Aviation has doubled the number of aircraft owned, managed, and committed for a current total of greater than 230 aircraft, valued in excess of US$9 billion. Including a 30% ownership of fellow aircraft lessor Avolon, the total assets under management now exceed US$17 billion. ORIX Aviation is the only S&P ranked aircraft servicer and recently had its rating reconfirmed a “strong”- the highest possible ranking - with a stable outlook.

Our core mission is to further expand our unique foothold in the aircraft leasing business by looking at opportunities for continuing growth, while maintaining our top S&P servicer ranking and to further achieve very meaningful growth through strategic positioning and M&A transactions.

We are pleased to announce our year-long Graduate Programme in Dublin, which is open to candidates who are currently undertaking or recently completed undergraduate degrees or masters in Aviation, Business, Engineering, Economics, Finance, or related disciplines.
