A wholly owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) is partnering with New York-based I Squared Capital and global aviation financier Avolon to launch a new aircraft leasing infrastructure platform — Constellation Aviation. The platform will launch with a $1.4 billion fleet of 22 aircraft, with plans to scale through long-term institutional investments.
Why This Matters
Constellation Aviation is the latest deal in the UAE’s sustained commitment to American aviation. UAE airlines are among Boeing's largest global customers, Abu Dhabi is working with next-generation eVTOL companies Joby and Archer and Dubai Aerospace Enterprise operates leasing programs with Blackstone and Neuberger.
With Avolon's priority access to Boeing deliveries, Constellation Aviation will direct sovereign UAE capital toward US manufacturing, supporting American jobs and domestic supply chains, while helping airlines meet fleet demands.
