Equity Method Investments
Advanced Engine Repair JV
In December 2016, we invested $15 million for a 25% interest in an advanced engine repair joint venture. This joint venture is focused on developing new cost savings programs for engine repairs.
In August 2019, we expanded the scope of our joint venture and invested an additional $13.5 million and maintained a 25% interest. We exercise significant influence over this investment and account for this investment as an equity method investment.
Falcon MSN 177 LLC
In November 2021, we invested $1.6 million for a 50% interest in Falcon MSN 177 LLC (“Falcon”), an entity that consists of one Dassault Falcon 2000 aircraft. Falcon leases the aircraft to charter operators on aircraft, crew maintenance, and insurance contracts. We account for our investment in Falcon as an equity method investment as we have significant influence through our interest.
On May 3, 2024, we purchased the remaining interest from S7 Aerospace for total cash consideration of $0.8 million and obtained full ownership of the aircraft with a 100% equity interest. On the acquisition date, the Company accounted for the Falcon investment on a consolidated basis and derecognized it as an equity method investment.
Quick Turn Engine Center LLC
On January 4, 2023, we invested $19.5 million for a 50% interest (45% pro rata distribution of income until return of the JV partner’s initial investment) in Quick Turn Engine Center LLC (previously iAero Thrust LLC), a hospital maintenance and testing facility dedicated to the CFM56 engine. We account for our investment in QuickTurn as an equity method investment as we have significant influence through our interest.
On December 1, 2023, we purchased the remaining interest in QuickTurn from the joint venture partner for total cash consideration of $30.3 million to obtain full ownership with a 100% equity interest. On the acquisition date, the Company accounted for QuickTurn on a consolidated basis and derecognized it as an equity method investment. See Note 4 for additional information.
