Commenting on the results, Firoz Tarapore, Chief Executive Officer of DAE, stated, “The continued strength of demand for both leased aircraft and airframe maintenance can be seen in both the growth of our top line revenue and profitability, and in improvements to our margins and returns. We continue to demonstrate exemplary financial prudence, including our rock-solid commitments to capital adequacy and our exceptional liquidity of US$4.9 billion, which contributed to recent upgrades to our long-term credit ratings from both Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.

The trading market remains a robust channel for buying and selling aircraft. We are actively evaluating acquisitions and divestments of aircraft portfolios. We expect the second half of 2024 to be an active period.

Our order book positions are placed until the second quarter of 2026, although continued delivery uncertainty from Boeing is delaying near-term deliveries.

In July, DAE announced that it has recommenced its bond repurchase program, and is now providing indicative bids directly through Bloomberg across its bond maturity ladder. As of June 30, 2024, DAE had available authorization to repurchase up to US$274 million of outstanding bonds.

DAE Engineering is continuing to see exceptional revenue and profitability growth. For the first half of 2024, revenue increased by 33% to US$92 million, and profitability increased by 103% to USU$20.5 million. Deployment of additional hangar capacity is progressing at pace at our facility in Amman, Jordan, and our aim is to have an additional five hangar lines in operation prior to year-end 2024.”
