With its over 35 years long experience in the field, Crédit Agricole CIB gives preference to lasting relationships with its customers. The expertise of its teams is recognised worldwide in the air and rail transportation markets.

Recognised expertise

Active for over 35 years in this area, Crédit Agricole CIB is one of the world leaders in aircraft financing. The Bank finances aircraft (passenger and cargo planes, business jets) operated by commercial airlines or private individuals. It offers its customers (airlines, aircraft or engine hire companies, airports, industrialists) a broad range of products and expertise in cooperation with Crédit Agricole CIB’s several product lines.

In 2008, Crédit Agricole CIB financed over 130 civil aircraft under bilateral agreements and continued financing portfolios of aircraft and engines leased out to leasing companies.

Several deals have been prized during the year and Crédit Agricole CIB was acclaimed “Aircraft Finance House of the Year” for the fourth year running by Jane’s Transport Finance magazine.

In the area of railroad financing Crédit Agricole CIB was distinguished for the first time since this activity began in 2005 for its financing of the take over of Angel Trains recognised “European Rail Deal of the Year” by Jane’s Transport Finance magazine.
