Volato Unveils Game-Changing Aircraft Leasing Strategy: New Revenue Stream Targets High-Demand Jets

Volato Introduces Innovative Aircraft Leasing Strategy to Capture Growing Private Jet Demand

Strategic Expansion Amid Market Growth and Challenges

ATLANTA — Volato Group, Inc. (NYSE American: SOAR), a technology-driven private aviation company, has announced a new aircraft leasing strategy designed to place high-demand jets with third-party operators. This initiative aims to establish a recurring, asset-light revenue stream by leveraging Volato’s expertise in sourcing and structuring transactions, while expanding its network of aviation partners and software users. The announcement precedes the company’s participation in the Jefferies Virtual Business Aviation Summit on June 5, 2025, where Co-Founder and CEO Matt Liotta will elaborate on the strategy and Volato’s broader platform expansion.

Liotta emphasized the company’s vision, stating, “We’re not just leasing aircraft—we’re building an infrastructure layer for the industry. By connecting supply, demand, and technology more intelligently, we’re unlocking value that traditional models leave on the table.” This approach is intended to capitalize on the business aviation sector’s projected 11% growth in aircraft demand for 2025, as operators and travelers increasingly seek more flexible and efficient solutions.

Navigating Market Constraints and Competitive Pressures

Volato’s leasing initiative enters a market currently challenged by constraints in the midlife aircraft engine segment. High demand combined with ongoing supply chain disruptions has intensified competition and extended overhaul timelines, tightening liquidity within the engine leasing market. This environment, dominated by a limited number of players, presents obstacles as Volato targets high-demand jets. Competitors are expected to respond by leveraging established relationships and reinforcing their market positions to adapt to the evolving landscape.

Despite these headwinds, Volato’s momentum remains strong. The company reported profitable first-quarter results in 2025 and continues to experience rapid growth of its Vaunt platform alongside the deployment of its proprietary Mission Control software. These technology-driven solutions are designed to enhance operational efficiency and service quality for both operators and travelers.

Volato’s Mission Control software streamlines operations across fractional ownership, charter, and other aviation services, while the Vaunt platform connects travelers with available private flights for on-demand travel. By focusing on advanced technology and customer-centric solutions, Volato aims to meet rising demand and adapt to shifting market dynamics.
