Driving asset strategy with reliable market data

How Magellan utilise our accurate data and analysis via their Intelligence Suite subscription to support their workflow.

Magellan Aviation Group case study

Overview

Magellan Aviation Group operates in the engine leasing and aftermarket space and is owned by Marubeni Corporation.

The team focuses on asset origination, acquisition, and commercial strategy, with a lean structure that relies on high-quality external intelligence.

The challenge

Magellan operates in a data-intensive and fast-moving market, where accurate information is critical to:

  • Benchmark asset acquisition prices
  • Track trading activity across the market
  • Assess airline credit risk for leased assets
  • Monitor geopolitical and fuel price developments

However, many data providers are fragmented, making it difficult to build a consistent and reliable market view – particularly for a lean team.

The solution

Magellan uses Ishka Airfinance’s platform as a central source of market intelligence, combining data, analysis, and credit insights.

Trading Data & Values

Used to track market activity and benchmark acquisition pricing.

“We track a lot of the trading data — we find it very useful.”

Airline Credit Profiles

Supports assessment of airline risk when acquiring assets with leases attached.

Insights

Provides a timely, forward-looking view on market developments, including geopolitical events and fuel price trends.

“Insights give us an alternative and predictive view of what’s going on in the market.”

Events

Offers valuable networking opportunities across key industry hubs.

The ROI result

Using Ishka Airfinance, Magellan is able to:

  • Benchmark asset values and pricing with confidence
  • Strengthen investment decisions on leased assets
  • Stay informed on market trends and risks
  • Rely on a single, integrated source of data rather than fragmented providers

“It’s an alternative approach… which has been quite refreshing for us.”

“My main argument for using Ishka Airfinance is the reliability of the data.”
