FTAI Aviation Ltd. (FTAI) Latest News
25 Sep
Granahan Investment Management’s Q2 2026 Focused Growth Strategy letter highlights FTAI Aviation Ltd. as a notable position. FTAI sells and leases CFM56 engine modules and is building a differentiated engine maintenance franchise. The quarter saw the stock rise about 10% even as the fund’s position weighed modestly against a strong benchmark, contributing -110 basis points of relative performance. Positive signals include Moody’s upgrading FTAI’s credit rating, management’s plan to double its share of the CFM56 maintenance market, and a sold-out power generator program that refurbishes and converts old engines to meet data center demand. The firm maintains a positive view on FTAI’s core business and a modestly above-average weighting within the portfolio. The broader market backdrop included AI-driven strength and macro optimism. Moody's upgrade and expansion plans plus strong demand for the power generator program point to meaningful upside in FTAI's maintenance revenue and credit profile.
23 Sep
GMF, Indonesia’s largest MRO, and FTAI Aviation are expanding a long-term partnership to raise GMF’s engine and APU maintenance capacity across Asia-Pacific. The arrangement initially covers CFM56-5B/7B engines and GTCP131-9 APUs with guaranteed capacity for FTAI over five years, and is intended to broaden into deeper module and piece‑part repair and next‑generation engines such as the CFM LEAP. Building on an existing GMF-FTAI relationship, the deal aims to shorten turnaround times, improve parts access, and grow GMF’s regional customer base while leveraging FTAI’s technical support. Formalized at MRO Asia-Pacific 2026 in Singapore, the collaboration also envisions GMF serving as a key regional MRO partner for FTAI and its customers, with opportunities to scale further beyond the current scope. Long-term committed volumes across Asia-Pacific expand FTAI's regional MRO footprint and growth potential.
