“The aviation finance market is best served by lenders who understand the asset as well as the credit,” said Steve Mason, Managing Director and Head of Aviation at ITE Management. “ITE Lending combines deep expertise in aircraft, lease structures, and market cycles with committed capital, disciplined execution, and trusted financing partners to deliver financing solutions with certainty and speed.”
“Aviation borrowers have historically had to choose between lenders with capital and lenders with expertise,” said Ryan Jasinski, Head of Origination at ITE Management. “ITE Lending offers both. We can move quickly, structure around the specific asset and lease, and provide the certainty of execution that borrowers need to close.”
