Titan Aviation Leasing and Bain Capital have announced the successful closing of Titan Aircraft Investments II, DAC (“TAI 2”), a new freighter aircraft investment platform. TAI 2 launches with a $410 million capital commitment from Bain Capital and Atlas that further scales the firm’s joint venture platform, which is focused on delivering flexible and efficient freighter leasing solutions worldwide.

Building on the strong performance of Titan Aircraft Investments I, Ltd. (“TAI 1”), which was established in 2019 and launched with $400 million in initial capital commitments, TAI 2 represents a milestone expansion of the freighter leasing platform to meet sustained global demand for dedicated cargo aircraft.

TAI 1 targeted long-term deployment of $1 billion in assets. Since TAI 1’s inception, Titan Aviation Leasing has acquired 19 aircraft across 11 lessees worldwide, capitalizing on secular demand for cargo aircraft driven by robust e-commerce growth.

Titan Aviation Leasing will continue to provide comprehensive aircraft and lease management services across both portfolios, leveraging its deep cargo aviation expertise to support a growing and diversified customer base.

“The successful deployment of TAI 1 has demonstrated the strength of our partnership with Bain Capital and Atlas, and the critical role Titan plays in delivering efficient, flexible freighter leasing solutions,” said Eamonn Forbes, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Titan Aviation Leasing. “We are excited to scale this platform further with TAI 2 and continue supporting the evolving needs of the global air cargo industry.”

“This expanded platform underscores our commitment to the freighter leasing sector and to building long-term solutions for our customers,” said Michael Steen, Chief Executive Officer, Atlas Air Worldwide.

“We are proud to deepen our partnership with Titan and Atlas as we expand our platform to meet the increasingly complex demands of global cargo supply chains,” said Matthew Evans, a Partner at Bain Capital. “By leveraging our combined expertise with the ability to act quickly and efficiently in a continually evolving market, we are well positioned to continue delivering flexible, high-impact solutions that help freight operators around the world meet their diverse financing needs.”
