Falko Regional Aircraft Limited (Falko) is pleased to announce the addition of two experienced aircraft finance professionals to the team.

Martyn Apsey has recently joined Falko as SVP Corporate Finance. Martyn joins us with a long history in aircraft finance, initially as a banker and then as Treasurer, Commercial Aircraft Sales Finance with British Aerospace. More recently he ran a Residual Value Insurance and Secured Credit Insurance business specialising in aviation and other transportation assets. He joins us from Lombard where he was responsible for managing Lombard’s existing book of aviation business.

Lucy Callan has joined as Legal Counsel with a strong background in aircraft finance both in-house and private practice. Prior to joining us, Lucy worked for JPMorgan Chase Bank NA as the product support lawyer for the export credit finance team on its aircraft financings. Lucy’s private practice experience was gained at DLA Piper UK LLP where she was a senior associate in the asset finance team acting for a variety of clients across the aviation industry including ECAs, financial institutions, operating lessors and airlines on the purchasing, leasing and financing of aircraft and engines. During her time at DLA, Lucy also spent ten months on secondment to the aircraft finance group at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation where she worked on ECA and ExIm backed financing, and secured debt transactions.

The addition of Martyn and Lucy to the Falko team further strengthens Falko’s commitment to pursuing targeted regional sector investments, through new and used aircraft acquisitions. Falko is now in a period of growth and expansion with a strong pipeline of acquisitions.
