This transaction supports the Group’s entry into the Japanese aircraft financing market and has attracted significant interest from Japanese investors.

The transaction further strengthens the longstanding relationship between Qatar Airways Group and JLPS and represents an important milestone that is expected to deepen the partnership and foster further collaborative business opportunities, including future transactions under the program.

For JLPS, this transaction also marks an important step in the continued expansion of its aircraft finance business. Going forward, JLPS will continue to support Qatar Airways Group’s growth strategy and diverse funding requirements through its strong partnership with the Group.

The transaction was recognized as the “Middle East & Africa Lease Deal of the Year” at the 2026 Airline Economics Middle East, Africa & Islamic Finance Aviation 100 Awards held in Dubai, reflecting its significance and impact on the aviation finance market across the Middle East and Africa region.
