Watson Farley & Williams (“WFW”) has advised Investec Bank (“Investec”) on its acquisition of a new-generation widebody Airbus A350-900 aircraft from Aergo Capital. This is the second such transaction where WFW has advised Investec, following a similar acquisition from Aergo of an aircraft on lease to Singapore airlines in May 2023.
Founded in 1991 and dual-listed on the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges, Investec is an international banking and asset management group, operating primarily in Europe, Southern Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.
Aergo Capital is an aircraft leasing and trading company founded in 1999.
The WFW London Aviation team that advised Investec was led by Global Aviation Sector Co-Head Jim Bell, working closely with Counsel Jane Keith, Senior Associate Liam Clozier and Associate Tom Coates.
Jim commented: “We are pleased to have supported Investec once again on a key acquisition. Their continued trust in us highlights the quality of WFW’s aviation practice”.
