Tailwind Capital, LLC remarkets two Boeing 717-200 aircraft on behalf of Goldman Sachs

Redmond, WA (April 7, 2014) – Tailwind Capital, LLC (“Tailwind”) has successfully sold two aircraft to an undisclosed buyer as part of its exclusive remarketing mandate with Goldman Sachs (New York). The transaction included two Boeing 717-200 jet aircraft, which are currently operated by US operator AirTran Airways. These aircraft were originally acquired by Goldman Sachs as part of a larger portfolio purchase.

“Tailwind has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Goldman Sachs and we are pleased to have been able to successfully sell an aircraft type that has had a resurgence in popularity. The Boeing 717 is a proven workhorse for a number of operators that can capitalize on its longevity and commonality with existing fleet types,” says Joel Hussey, President, Tailwind Capital. “Tailwind has a deep understanding of both mainline and regional aircraft markets and a global network of investors and operators, and we look forward to our continued collaboration with Goldman as we work to place the remaining aircraft in this portfolio.”
