ABOUT BBAM

BBAM began as Babcock & Brown Aircraft Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of Babcock & Brown in 1991. Babcock & Brown was the preeminent arranger of aircraft financing transactions and acted as a financial advisor to airlines around the world for many decades.

BBAM, working with its business partner NBB, developed into the largest provider of Japanese equity capital to the airline industry and the third largest aircraft operating lessor in the world. Since its inception more than 20 years ago, BBAM has originated over 500 aircraft valued at over $20 billion including over 375 aircraft for the Japanese market.

The senior executives of BBAM acquired the business from Babcock & Brown in April 2010, following Babcock & Brown’s decision to complete an orderly wind-down of its operations. Today, BBAM is owned 85% by its senior management and 15% by FLY Leasing Limited (FLY).
