The five-year transaction is the largest term loan the Company has signed to date, exceeding the US$1.375 billion term loan that the Company signed in October 2023. The transaction comprises two facilities provided to BOC Aviation and BOC Aviation (Ireland).   “The support we have received from our panel of banking partners, both current and new, has enabled us to complete the transaction at highly competitive pricing. The term loan, which was oversubscribed, demonstrated the banking market’s confidence in the Company’s credit and strong financial performance, said Mui Sin Chan, Head of Treasury, BOC Aviation.   The term loan saw BOC Aviation adding three new banks to our strong lending group of financial institutions. Proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes, capital expenditure and refinancing of existing debt.   #BOCAviation #Aircraftleasing #Financing
