Investec Corporate & Investment Bank has partnered with Global Airways to finance an Airbus A320 aircraft.
This debt facility offers a scalable and tailored solution for Global Airways, supporting its dual operating model of scheduled commercial services through LIFT in South Africa and international ACMI operations.
The facility enables the aircraft to transition between LIFT’s domestic scheduled services and Global Airways’ international ACMI deployments, optimising utilisation across market cycles.
Investec advanced a master loan to facilitate future fleet requirements, with an Airbus A320 purchase closed in December 2025.
“This facility gives us the flexibility to deploy our aircraft where they're needed most, across multiple regions,” said Global Airways director Jonathan Rosenzweig. “Investec understood our operating model and structured accordingly. This is a relationship we value, one that supports our future growth across markets.”
“This transaction exemplifies how Investec builds partnerships around client needs,” said Investec Corporate & Investment Bank's John Shaw.
The deal team also included Investec's Treasury and Transactional Services (TSS), which assisted with an interest rate swap, and Banking Technology and Business (BTB), which facilitated account openings to support Global Airways.
