The Strategic Capital Initiative transforms FTAI from an asset-heavy lessor into an asset-light platform that earns servicing fees and profit participation on third-party capital. By routing all future on-lease 737NG and A320ceo acquisitions to the partnership while retaining the servicing role and MRE supply agreement, FTAI scales its addressable engine pool without proportional balance sheet growth, improving return on equity.
