Crestone Air Partners, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air T, Inc., announced the formation of Blue Crest Aviation Partners on August 11, 2025. This new joint venture is anchored by funds managed by Blue Owl Capital, Inc.
The Blue Crest platform is designed to acquire mid-life commercial jet aircraft on lease to airlines globally, employing a disciplined, income-oriented strategy. This initiative builds upon a successful partnership where Crestone and Blue Owl's Alternative Credit funds have jointly invested hundreds of millions of dollars in aviation assets since 2020.
This joint venture is highly significant for investors as it represents the next stage of scaling for Crestone's platform and deepens its alignment with a major capital partner. It targets opportunities in the mid-life aviation market, further expanding Air T's strategic footprint in commercial aircraft asset management and leasing.
