Transpordi Varahaldus

What Transpordi Varahaldus does

Transpordi Varahaldus (OÜ Transpordi Varahaldus, "TVH") is a state-owned Estonian private limited company (OÜ) established on September 30, 2015 by the Republic of Estonia as sole shareholder, with shareholder rights exercised through the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications and represented by the Minister of Infrastructure. The company was constituted as an investment entity to finance and manage fixed assets in the transport sector, primarily through acquisition and leasing. Its sole operating focus became regional aviation: it acquired a portfolio of seven Bombardier CRJ900NG 88-seat regional jet aircraft powered by General Electric CF34-8C5A1 engines, supplemented by eight CF34-8C5A1 engines and a Bombardier spare parts inventory, and leased these assets on long-term (13-year) contracts.

TVH's revenue model was overwhelmingly a single-customer managed-services arrangement: the aircraft fleet was leased to AS Nordic Aviation Group (Nordica) and its ACMI subsidiary Regional Jet OÜ (Xfly), which operated wet-lease services to carriers including SAS. Annual turnover tracked in the EUR 6.7M-10.6M range across 2017-2023, while the balance sheet asset base peaked at EUR 86M in 2019 and contracted to EUR 26.1M by year-end 2025. The company raised EUR 35M via 2017-2018 bond issuances (subscribed by LHV pension funds and LHV Pank at 2.85%) to fund fleet expansion, refinanced in 2021 with a EUR 23M LHV Pank bank loan. Following Nordica's bankruptcy, the state confirmed at the end of 2024 its decision to exit aviation asset management, after which TVH sold all seven aircraft to Regional One (subsidiary EIC Aircraft Leasing Limited) for $37.5M and six engines for approximately $5M through broker ACC Aviation, with final deliveries completed in April 2026. The company is now preparing for dissolution.
