La Caisse and SMBC double leasing platform to US$3 billion

La Caisse and SMBC Aviation Capital are expanding Maple Aircraft Company Holdings (MACH), their joint aircraft financing and leasing platform, to a total commitment of US$3 billion. This expansion follows the initial deployment of US$1.5 billion, which has already been utilized by MACH. The expanded platform will continue operations until December 2029, providing increased capacity for aircraft financing and leasing activities. This doubling in size represents a significant investment within the aviation sector’s financial landscape. La Caisse, formerly CDPQ, and SMBC remain committed partners in this strategic initiative.
