Aircraft finance: a top-notch global arranger

Natixis ranks as one of the world’s very top arrangers of aircraft finance through our specialist subsidiary, Natixis Transport Finance.

We specialize in financing all types of new aircraft assets (long- and medium-haul, regional, turboprops). Our expertise embraces the full spectrum of aircraft finance needs, including export loans with ECA guarantees, asset-backed commercial loans, French, German, Japanese and US leveraged tax leases, Islamic finance, financing of advances, finance combining junior and senior tranches and equity investments, and financial leases.

 

Shipping finance: a longstanding market presence

Natixis has earned a strong reputation in the world shipping market by co-financing close to 600 vessels over the last 12 years.

We have built up solid positions as an arranger, particularly for arranging tax leases in France or offshore. We have also accumulated some fine references for arranging KEIC-insured export credits in Korea. In 2009, we decided to strategically refocus on maritime assets for the energy industry, e.g. oil, gas, methane tankers, drilling vessels, offshore production platforms, assistance vessels, etc.
