Willis Lease Finance Corporation is a provider of aviation services, specializing in leasing spare commercial aircraft engines and other aircraft-related equipment to commercial airlines, aircraft engine manufacturers, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities worldwide. Willis Lease was launched more than 30 years ago by Charles F. Willis, the first entrepreneur to venture into the then-unheard-of business of jet engine leasing.
An industry leader with a trusted reputation, Willis Lease provides commercial jet engines to passenger airlines, air cargo carriers and maintenance and repair organizations through short-term and long-term operating leases. We have successfully purchased, leased and sold more engines in more countries over a longer period of time than any independent competitor.
