Founded by Bain Capital in partnership with aviation industry experts Thomas Garbaccio and Brickell Asset Management, JB Aircraft Finance brings deep aviation experience and disciplined investment expertise to the corporate aircraft market.
Focused on mid-life corporate aircraft, JB Aircraft Finance provides a comprehensive suite of financing solutions, including operating leases, financial leases and bespoke financing transactions tailored to the needs of manufacturers, owners and operators.
