FTAI Aviation makes money by owning and fixing the kinds of jet engines airlines already fly, and it’s shifting from renting assets to selling faster, lower-cost maintenance services.

FTAI Aviation leans heavily on older jet engines, and a faster shift to cleaner, newer models could leave it with less repair work, weaker pricing, and equipment worth less over time.
