“Having developed our 145 maintenance and exchange capabilities over the past few years, we have become the partner of choice for airlines looking to avoid or outsource maintenance risk,” said Austin C. Willis, Chief Executive Officer of WLFC. “This strategy has proven effective, particularly in our supply chain constrained environment.”
“The Company performed well in the first quarter of 2024 and is benefiting from the continued maturation of our strategy,” said Brian R. Hole, President of WLFC.
