Willis Lease Finance Corporation announced on May 8, 2025, that it entered into an agreement to sell Bridgend Asset Management Limited (BAML), its consultancy and advisory arm, to Willis Mitsui & Co. Engine Support Limited (WMES). WMES is WLFC’s longstanding joint venture with Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
This strategic move aims to strengthen the WMES platform by integrating BAML’s technical consultancy and records management services into its operations. The integration is expected to enhance WMES’s capabilities, reach, and efficiency in aviation asset management.
WLFC will remain a 50% owner of WMES and plans to continue leveraging its services to support its leasing operations. This divestiture allows WLFC to focus on strategic initiatives to grow its core aviation portfolio.
