Stamford – November 04, 2026 -- Aircastle Limited will file a Form 15 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or about November 18, 2026, ending the voluntary SEC reporting it has maintained since going private in 2020.
Bond repayment removed the last reporting obligation
Aircastle became privately held on March 27, 2020, when its merger with affiliates of Marubeni Corporation and Mizuho Leasing Company, Limited closed. It kept filing voluntary reports with the SEC, in part to meet reporting requirements in certain bond indentures.
The remaining bonds carrying those requirements were repaid on May 13, 2026. The voluntary filing obligation ceased to apply at that point.
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31 will be the last periodic filing
The lessor expects its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2026 to be its final periodic report filed with the SEC.
Aircastle will continue to publish quarterly unaudited and annual audited U.S. GAAP financial statements, along with other financial and business information, in the investor section of its website. The company says the change principally affects the form and method of reporting and distribution.
Portfolio stands at 268 aircraft across 67 customers
As of August 31, 2026, Aircastle owned and managed 268 aircraft leased to 67 customers in 42 countries. Reporting will move from SEC filings to the company's own website.
