US aircraft and engine leasing and trading company Zephyrus Aviation Capital has secured a $350m warehouse finance facility.

Deutsche Bank New York Branch has served as the structuring agent and lead arranger.

Zephyrus’ first warehouse facility will start housing aircraft in the upcoming weeks.

The new facility comes a year after the launch of its ZCAP 2018-1 asset-backed securities (ABS) facility and is specially designed for mid-life to older-life aircraft.

The $336.6m ABS transaction was for 21 mid-life to late-life aircraft, which includes a combination of predominantly narrow-body, in-production Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

Zephyrus president and CEO Damon J D’Agostino said: “After the success of our initial ABS, it was a pleasure to once again work with Deutsche Bank and our other partners on this warehouse facility, as this continuity allows us to more efficiently execute our business growth and development plans.
