AeroDirect has acquired five ex-LATAM V2500-A5 engines for customer component support and to add to its lease pool of engines. Steve Berner, Vice President of Sales for AeroDirect, said: “These additional engines to our portfolio will greatly enhance our footprint in the V2500 arena which we anticipate greater demand as the industry comes out of the pandemic and the engine type is faced with airworthiness directive challenges.
The transaction was funded through its partnership with Troob Capital Management, a New York financial firm. AeroDirect’s current partnership allows for funding additional engine acquisitions through 2024.
Founded in 1995, AeroDirect stocks over 1.5 million quality engine, airframe and expendable parts for its 1,500 active customers and suppliers. It currently has CFM56-3/5/7 and V2500 engines in its lease pool.
