Avation plc

Canaccord Genuity’s Corporate Broking team is pleased to announce it has acted as Joint Bookrunner and Joint Broker on a £7.5 million placing and subscription (the “Fundraise“) for Avation plc (“Avation”).

Avation (LSE: AVAP) is a specialist commercial passenger aircraft leasing company managing a fleet of aircraft which it leases to airlines across the world. Headquartered in Singapore, Avation’s customers include Loganair, Air France, easyJet, Eva Air, Philippine Airlines, Air India, Vietjet Air, Fiji Airways, Mandarin Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Garuda Indonesia, Galistair, airBaltic and Danish Air Transport.

Avation believes that COVID-19 is likely to lead to positive market conditions, due to the shortage of available aircraft post the pandemic due to retirements and airline suffering from capital constraints, leading to preferences for aircraft to be leased rather than owned. The Directors will utilise the proceeds from the Fundraise to enhance working capital.
