Apollo funds acquire a material interest in Atlantic Aviation as part of a $10 billion valuation
Type: Investment · Technology: Transport · Country: United States · Value: $10B · Announced: 2026-08-28
Apollo-managed funds invested in Atlantic Aviation, acquiring a material equity interest while the company is valued at nearly $10 billion. The transaction adds Apollo as a new shareholder alongside existing KKR-managed funds, which remain a substantial owner of the private aviation infrastructure platform. Atlantic Aviation operates fixed‑base operator services across high‑activity U.S. airports, providing fueling, hangar leasing and other essential aviation services under long‑term concession agreements. The investment is intended to fund targeted capital projects and support strategic market expansion for Atlantic Aviation. The deal was announced on 28 August 2026 and reflects both firms' confidence in the structural tailwinds of the private aviation sector.
