We are delighted to contribute to the transport network for less well served territories and guarantee their transport connections. « The acquisition of these four aircraft will allow Chalair to complete its inter-regional network and be well positioned in the provision of Public Service airline routes. It’s also worth noting that the currency used for this financing is the euro, whereas most transactions in the aircraft industry are carried out in dollars. This is a significant move away from the leasing or sale & leaseback scheme, traditionally used by Chetwode and Acofi, specifically within the framework of their first fund, Predirec Leasing Stratégique (« ABL1 »). Passenger planes represent a significant innovation for the Predirec ABL-2 fund managed by Acofi Gestion, as does the financing scheme used: a loan granted to an intra-group company, which in turn leases the aircraft to Chalair. The new Predirec ABL-2 fund (« ABL2 »), recently launched by Acofi in partnership with Chetwode, will finance the operation for a total amount of 13.7M€, starting with a first aircraft, already financed in early November. In June 2018, the company negotiated with HOP the purchase of four ATRs: one ATR72-500 and three ATR42-500.
