Consolidated Subsidiary Aviation Capital Group to Order 50 Boeing Aircraft

Tokyo Century Corporation ("Tokyo Century") is pleased to announce that Aviation Capital Group LLC ("ACG"), a U.S.-based commercial aircraft lessor and its wholly-owned subsidiary, resolved on January 12, 2026 Pacific Time to order a total of 50 737 MAX Family aircraft from The Boeing Company ("Boeing").

  1. Purpose of the Acquisition

    ACG is a U.S.-based leading aircraft leasing company that was founded in 1989 and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokyo Century in December 2019. ACG owns and manages a total of 315 aircraft, comprising 278 owned and 37 managed units, and including the aircraft for which orders have previously been placed, its fleet count totals 470 aircraft (as of September 30, 2025). ACG has a portfolio consisting of a young fleet with a weighted average age of 5.6 years, 95% of which, by count, are highly-liquid narrowbody aircraft.

    The ordered 737 MAX Family, Boeing's latest flagship narrowbody aircraft, boasts superior economic and environmental performance, offering a longer range, a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and a 50% smaller noise footprint than the airplanes it replaces.

    Demand for aircraft operating leases is expected to further increase due to growing passenger traffic, together with the needs of airlines to replace their fleet with next-generation aircraft. Taking these market trends into account, we expectcontinued growth of shorttomedium-haultrafficresultingin strong demand fornarrowbody aircraft that will continue during, and even after, the delivery of the ordered aircraft.

    Tokyo Century will continue to promote ACG's fleet renewal with next-generation aircraft, thereby maximizing profitability and asset efficiency, while contributing to the growth of the aviation industry and the reduction of CO2 emissions.
