We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Novus Aviation Capital, a leading global aviation finance company towards unlocking the potential of real world assets (RWAs) in aviation.

More specifically, this strategic alliance aims to transform the aviation industry by fueling the rapid tokenization of assets in the $200 billion aviation financing market.

Tokenizing Aviation Assets for Increased Efficiency

This collaboration marks a historic milestone in the convergence of blockchain technology and traditional finance (TradFi), the first of its kind in aviation financing. By combining MANTRA’s cutting-edge infrastructure with Novus Aviation Capital’s deep industry expertise, the partnership aims to revolutionize the way aircraft assets are owned, traded, and financed.

Mounir Kuzbari, Co-CEO of Novus Aviation Capital, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Our aim is to constantly innovate to work with our partners and investors to target the most attractive and robust risk-adjusted returns within the aviation sector, and engaging with MANTRA to explore the benefits of tokenization in aviation investments to widen the investor base of this popular asset class and simplifying the way we buy, finance, and trade aircraft.”

The $200 billion aviation financing market stands to benefit immensely from the transformative power of tokenization. By leveraging MANTRA’s blockchain platform, Novus Aviation Capital will be able to tokenize aviation assets, opening up new avenues for investment and expanding the investor base beyond traditional financial institutions.

A Catalyst for Industry Transformation

Established in 1994, Novus Aviation Capital, an independent, full-service platform, has a reputation and track record for providing innovative and creative solutions in the trading, leasing, financing, management, and remarketing of commercial jet aircraft.

Novus has a mission to innovate and provide the most efficient leasing and financing solutions across the capital structure to airlines, lessors, and manufacturers. By embracing new channels for distribution and capturing economic exposure through ground-breaking tokenization models through its partnership with MANTRA, Novus will spearhead further financial innovation and cement its leading position in the industry.

John Patrick Mullin, CEO & Co-Founder of MANTRA stated, “The close collaboration between MANTRA and Novus will create greater efficiencies in aviation financing and Novus’ understanding of the role tokenization plays in fulfilling that vision clearly demonstrates its deep understanding of how transformative the use of distributed ledger technologies will be for the financial markets.”

The partnership between MANTRA and Novus Aviation Capital represents a significant step forward for aviation in the adoption of real world assets, paving the way for a more efficient and inclusive financial future.

With our combined expertise in aviation financing and scalable RWA-focused blockchain technology, we seek to unlock the full potential of compliant RWA tokenization within the aviation industry.
