World's first eVTOL leasing company

vertical city.

AerCapita owns, leases, and manages certified electric vertical aircraft — financed through institutional debt and tokenized bonds from $5,000.

What we do

Aviation finance,
reinvented.

The infrastructure layer that eVTOL needs to scale. Three interlocking businesses, one SPV.

01
Fleet ownership

We acquire certified eVTOL aircraft from OEMs — Joby, Archer, Wisk — and hold title under Cape Town Convention registration in 90+ jurisdictions.

Power-by-hour leasing

Frequently asked questions
What happens if an aircraft is grounded? +
The reserve account ($3.1M) covers 6 months of coupon payments during any aircraft downtime. Additionally, the MRO reserve fund covers unplanned maintenance costs so they don't impact distributions. Cape Town Convention allows repossession within 30 days if a lessee defaults, minimising vacant-aircraft periods.
Can I sell my tokens before maturity? +
NASDAQ Dubai Digital Exchange (NDX) listing is planned for Q4 2026, giving ACFT-I holders a regulated secondary market. Until then, transfers are permitted between eligible investors via bilateral OTC with AerCapita's approval. A market maker will be appointed at NDX listing to ensure adequate liquidity.
Is this DFSA regulated? What does that mean? +
Yes. AerCapita operates as a DFSA Category 3C entity. ACFT-I tokens are issued under DIFC's Exempt Offers regime for digital securities. DFSA oversight means we are subject to ongoing reporting requirements, investor protection rules, and AML/KYC standards. You can verify our DFSA registration on the DIFC website.
What is the risk to my principal? +
Token bonds are debt instruments, not equity — you rank ahead of equity investors in the waterfall. The key risks to principal are: (1) multiple simultaneous lessee defaults (mitigated by diversification and Cape Town), (2) severe eVTOL market downturn reducing residual values at maturity, (3) regulatory change making operations unviable. At 60% LTV on the fleet, aircraft values would need to fall >40% before principal is at risk. All risks are detailed in the prospectus.
How do I receive coupon payments? +
Distributions are made on-chain to your registered wallet address on each quarterly date. We also support bank wire payment in USD for investors who prefer traditional settlement. All distributions are audited and verifiable on-chain before payment is made.
What is the minimum investment and how do I start? +
Minimum investment is $5,000 (100 ACFT-I tokens at $50.00 each). To invest: (1) complete KYC at invest@AerCapita.com — takes under 10 minutes for UAE residents, (2) receive your investor portal credentials, (3) purchase tokens via bank wire or USDC, (4) tokens are issued to your wallet within 24 hours. Questions: invest@AerCapita.com.

ACFT-I tokens are DFSA-regulated digital securities. Investment carries risk including possible loss of principal. Past distributions do not guarantee future performance. This is not financial advice. Minimum investment $5,000. Available to eligible investors per DIFC regulations. Read the prospectus before investing.

Fleet OS accessLive telemetry
04
Receive quarterly distributions

Every 90 days, verified lease proceeds flow through the SPV waterfall to token holders. $1.063 per ACFT-I token ($531/quarter on a $25,000 investment). On-chain, audited, automatic.

Distribution dates: 31 Mar, 30 Jun, 30 Sep, 31 Dec. Payment triggers only after MRO reserve is funded and senior debt interest is covered — your coupon is protected by the waterfall. Tax certificates issued annually for UAE and GCC investors.

Quarterly yieldAudited
05
Trade or hold to maturity

At 5-year maturity (2031), principal is returned at $50 per token. From Q4 2026, NASDAQ Dubai Exchange listing gives you a regulated secondary market to exit earlier if needed.

NDX listing includes appointed market maker for liquidity. Pre-listing OTC transfers permitted with AerCapita approval. Maturity redemption is funded by aircraft remarketing proceeds — benefiting from AerCapita's proprietary cycle data and residual value intelligence.

About AerCapita

Built for
the new sky.

AerCapita was founded on the conviction that the eVTOL revolution needs infrastructure before it needs operators. We built that infrastructure first.

"The urban air mobility industry will have thousands of aircraft within a decade. Every one of them will need a lessor. We intend to be the AerCap of eVTOL — and we intend to get there before anyone else."
— Alexander Borodich & Elya Honeycove, Co-Founders

How we operate
01
Assets first, tokens second

Every token is backed by a real aircraft generating real lease revenue. We build the asset base before the capital market, not the other way around. No tokens exist without underlying aircraft.

02
Transparency by design

Fleet OS gives token holders real-time visibility into exactly the aircraft backing their investment. Flight hours, battery health, coupon coverage — live. No quarterly PDFs. No "trust us."

03
Regulatory first-mover

We engaged DFSA before we issued a single token. Cape Town registration before first aircraft. The regulatory work is done; execution is what remains. Compliance is not a cost — it's our moat.

04
Built for the long arc

The eVTOL market will take 10 years to fully mature. We structured for a 5-year bond, a 100-aircraft fleet, and multiple jurisdictions — not a quick flip. The best infrastructure companies are patient ones.
