The company announced its financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2024, showcasing solid revenue growth.
Key Financial Highlights
For the second quarter of 2024, AerSale reported revenue of $77.1 million, an increase from $69.3 million in the same period last year.
This revenue boost was driven by strong performance in flight equipment sales, which totaled $17.9 million compared to $17.6 million in the previous year.
This quarter’s flight equipment sales included five engines, reflecting a growing market for Used Serviceable Material (USM) and MRO services amid a favorable commercial aviation environment.
Despite the revenue growth, the company recorded a GAAP net loss of $3.6 million, compared to a $2.7 million loss in Q2 2023.
The adjusted net loss also widened to $2.6 million from $0.6 million in the prior year. However, adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $3.2 million, significantly improving from $(0.5) million in Q2 2023, highlighting operational efficiency and higher sales volume.

Operational Insights
AerSale’s Asset Management Solutions revenue increased to $41.8 million, up from $37.1 million in the same quarter last year.
This growth can be attributed to a 19.2% increase in USM sales and one additional engine on lease compared to the previous year.
Furthermore, TechOps revenue saw a 9.4% increase, reaching $35.3 million, supported by ongoing demand for MRO services.
CEO Nick Finazzo stated,
Our results improved over the prior year driven by higher feedstock acquisitions over the past 18 months, continued demand in MRO, and incremental volume of AerSafe™. We are advancing on initiatives to drive future growth and exceed our fixed cost hurdles.”
The company has made significant investments in expanding its MRO capabilities, including a new facility in Millington, Tennessee, and enhancements to its Miami operations.
Financial Stability and Growth Strategy
As of June 30, 2024, AerSale reported a strong liquidity position of $101.8 million, consisting of $4.3 million in cash and $97.5 million available on its revolving credit facility.
This robust liquidity allows AerSale to pursue strategic acquisitions and navigate a competitive landscape effectively.
Chief Financial Officer Martin Garmendia emphasized the importance of ongoing investments in feedstock, stating,
Based on available inventory balances and MRO capacity, we have the tools needed to continue this upward momentum through the remainder of 2024.”
