MIAMI, DUBLIN, SINGAPORE, February 14, 2017 - Apollo Aviation Group (together with its affiliates, “Apollo Aviation”), a multi-strategy aviation investment manager, announced that it is today holding a celebratory luncheon in Miami to mark its 15th anniversary.
William Hoffman, Apollo Aviation’s Chairman stated, “Our fifteenth anniversary has coincided with some significant milestones. In the last twelve months, we have grown our fleet by 64 percent and increased our assets under management by 42 percent. In 2016, we completed two asset backed securitizations raising $1.15 billion to finance 67 aircraft for which we have received two industry accolades, Aviation 100 Debt Deal of the Year for 2016 and Aircraft Securitization Deal of the Year – US.”
Apollo Aviation was founded in Miami by Mr. Hoffman and its President, Robert Korn, in 2002. The firm started life as an aircraft teardown and part-out specialist and has today evolved into a $3.5 billion1 boutique aviation asset manager with a fast-growing aircraft leasing business and a fleet of over 130 commercial mid-life aircraft.
Robert Korn explained, “Miami has always attracted aviation pioneers so it was an easy decision to base our global headquarters here. It has also turned out to be the right decision. Apollo Aviation’s growth is in part testament to Miami’s status as the United States’ aviation hub. Miami offers a very stable environment and has been successful in continuing to attract a high concentration of aviation businesses ensuring an abundance of commercial opportunities and technical expertise. We believe we are well-positioned for the next phase of our growth and look forward to a bright future in the years ahead.”
