Hanwha Aviation is the commercial aircraft engine leasing and trading platform of Hanwha Group, a Fortune 500 company. Launched in May 2024, the entity leverages its parent company's extensive background in aero-engine manufacturing and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) to offer vertically integrated solutions to a global clientele. The company's operations are managed from offices in Singapore, Dublin, Ireland, and Boca Raton, Florida, in the USA. The leadership team includes CEO Jeff Lewis, who was previously with FTAI Aviation.
The business model centers on providing comprehensive and cost-effective leasing and asset management solutions for aero-engines and aircraft. This is achieved through a vertically integrated strategy that includes in-house MRO capabilities, which allows the company to manage the entire engine lifecycle. In May 2025, Hanwha Aviation acquired an FAA- and EASA-certified MRO facility in the U.S. that specializes in services for engine types like the CFM56. The firm also recently established Hanwha AeroTechnix, an MRO facility in Miami.
Hanwha Aviation's primary clients are airlines, lessors, and MRO companies. The company is focused on building a portfolio of newer-generation assets, particularly narrowbody engines and aircraft. Since its inception, it has acquired approximately 40 narrowbody engines, including LEAP and GTF models, and aims to manage a portfolio of over 1,000 assets within the next decade. Its revenue is generated through leasing and trading activities, supported by significant capital injections from its parent, Hanwha Aerospace.
