ASLE

Aersale Corporation

A maker of aviation aftermarket services, AerSale buys, sells, leases, and maintains used commercial jets, engines, and parts for airlines, cargo carriers, leasing firms, and governments. Founded in 2008 by aviation veterans Nicolas Finazzo and Robert Nichols in the Miami area, the company manages the full life of an aircraft, from teardown and parts harvesting to heavy maintenance and resale. The name is a simple play on "aero" and "sale" — fitting for a firm whose business is giving old planes new lives.
