Public equity leasing specialist Mark Lapidus has launched another A380 publicly-listed vehicle on the London Stock Exchange, aimed at raising funds for four super jumbos.

The latest move from Lapidus has seen the launch of Amedeo Air Four Plus(AA4plus), which is the company’s first publicly-listed open-ended aircraft vehicle (a ‘permanent side car to co-invest in our activities’ in Lapidus’ own words), listed on the London Stock Exchange. Aviation Finance’s John Stanley spoke with Lapidus about his plans for AA4plus, the DNA transactions and the transition from Doric to Amedeo.

Global Transport Finance awarded Amedeo with the Aircraft Leasing Innovator of the Year 2014 Award at a Gala Dinner held at the historic Merchant Taylors’ Hall in London on 8 December 2014.
As a widebody operating lessor based in Ireland, Amedeo is determined to transform the aviation industry and educate airlines around the world about the benefits of the A380 aircraft. Amedeo secured an equity partnership with a New York-based private equity firm, Pine Brook, for the financing of its A380 order with Airbus, which was announced at the Singapore Airshow in February 2014.

“This is an important milestone in Amedeo’s business plan. We are delighted to be able to continue our long-lasting relationship with Emirates built in the spirit of partnership and innovation. This is the first A380 acquired by an operating lessor on its balance sheet, which is a strong endorsement for the aircraft and its unrivalled market positioning”, said Mark Lapidus, CEO of Amedeo.

He also addresses the various headwinds the industry is facing, whether overcapacity is a concern and what MH370 means in the long run.
