JACKSON SQUARE AVIATION ANNOUNCES THE ADDITION OF MICHAEL HAZELTON TO OPEN ITS SINGAPORE OFFICE

Jackson Square Aviation, LLC is pleased to announce that it has hired Michael Hazelton to establish the firm’s Singapore office with an emphasis on new aircraft origination and capital markets activities. As one of the world’s fastest- growing commercial aircraft lessors, JSA continues to expand its corporate platform with offices in key areas throughout the world. Within his new role Michael will focus on marketing efforts in Asia/Pacific as well as enhancing JSA’s capital raising efforts.

“Michael is a welcome addition to the Jackson Square team,” said Rich Wiley, Jackson Square’s President and CEO. “He brings a wealth of expertise and contacts throughout the region. As we continue to build out our business, his large global contact list and his track record of successful transactions will be great additions to our franchise. Having Michael operate out of Singapore is a further advantage for us, as we continue to expand our global footprint with our first Asian office.”

Michael joins Jackson Square from The Transportation Group (Capital) Ltd., where he served as Head of Asia. During his time at TTG, he personally transacted on over $10 billion in aircraft transactions including sale/leasebacks, JOL and GOL financings and secured debt financings.

Hazelton commented, “I am very pleased to be joining the company at this time and in a position that will allow me to use my skills to further expand the company’s business in Asia.”

Jackson Square Aviation is a full-service aircraft leasing company based in San Francisco with offices in Seattle, London, Toulouse, Miami, and now Singapore. JSA currently has a fleet of approximately 70 aircraft (owned and committed) worth in excess of $3 billion. The management team, which had previously worked together at Pegasus Aviation and Sky Holding, has over 100 years of combined industry experience. Led by the seasoned aircraft leasing trio of Richard Wiley, Toby Bright and Scott Weiss, the team has collectively acquired over $10 billion of aircraft, has purchased and/or remarketed over 400 aircraft, and has developed relationships with over 30 commercial lenders and investment banks across Europe, Asia and North America.
