What Regio Lease does

Regio Lease is a France-based aircraft consultancy founded in 2003 and headquartered in Rungis near Paris Orly. The company delivers integrated technical and asset management services to three primary client verticals: commercial airlines, banks and aircraft lessors, and aircraft industries (OEMs and test-bed operators). Its core offerings are organized around EASA Part CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation) services and span aircraft transition management, airworthiness reviews, pre-buy and pre-lease inspections, check supervision, engine/powerplant services, and end-to-end asset management covering acquisition evaluation, financing, maintenance oversight, insurance, remarketing, and disposal. The company holds regulatory approvals from six aviation authorities (EASA, BCAA Bermuda, Cayman Islands CAA, Isle of Man CAA, Luxembourg 2-REG) plus EN 9100 and ISO 9001 quality certifications, and is type-certified as a CAMO across 14+ aircraft families from Airbus, Boeing, ATR, Embraer, and Beechcraft, with A220 added in April 2024. Its proprietary CAMO platform integrates with AD Software for aircraft data and technical records management.

The business model blends professional-services project fees (for repossession, valuation, redelivery, and transition projects) with managed-services CAMO retainers and recurring asset management fees. Pricing is fully quote-based and tailored to aircraft type and scope; contracts are typically multi-year. Go-to-market is enterprise-direct and event-driven: the company maintains a relationship-based sales motion through project managers and sustains pipeline via active sponsorship and booth presence at ISTAT EMEA, ISTAT Asia, MRO Europe, MRO Middle East, ERA conferences, and the CFM56 Symposium. Since 2020 Regio Lease has expanded via a Toulouse office, the 2021 acquisition of Savina Technics, and a 2021 Dublin regional headquarters. In September 2023 Avico Group acquired a 30% equity stake, formalizing a joint venture for aircraft asset management. The company reports approximately 30 employees, has managed 1,000+ aircraft deliveries since 2006, and recorded €6M of turnover in 2019 (the most recent disclosed figure).
