An international strategic aviation company with a customer focus, GMT Global acquires, leases, and manages a fleet of commercial aircraft. The company was created to operate and expand the established aviation business of Republic Financial.
GMT Global's approach creates value through a business model that emphasizes strategic, as opposed to volume-oriented, growth within an industry that is dynamic and growing.
Proactively focused on identifying profitable areas of development, GMT Global adopted a disciplined "value not volume" business model that is based on acquiring aircraft after extensive due diligence to generate possible "value creating" returns on all acquisitions. This focus, coupled with a senior management team and world-class staff that has a wealth of experience in the aviation industry, gives GMT Global a competitive edge in a dynamic business.
The company is funded through major, well-known banks that traditionally support airlines, and has not, nor does it have any future plans to, execute securitizations. GMT Global does not deal speculatively in aircraft that are not integral to an airline's fleet plan and aircraft requirements. .
What sets GMT Global apart is its extensive industry contacts and established relationships with airframe and engine manufacturers, operating lease companies, and aviation brokers and lenders.
