ABOUT US

Nautilus is focused on acquiring undervalued commercial aircraft and engines to unlock value through resale, teardowns, or rebuilds. All our deals are asset-backed and relatively short-term, typically ranging from 3 to 18 months.

Nautilus is a private investment firm focused exclusively on commercial aviation. We acquire complex, asset-backed opportunities and create value through structured transactions, disciplined technical underwriting, and active management.

Our approach pairs deep technical diligence with flexible deal structuring, an emphasis on hard collateral, and clearly defined exit paths. We invest selectively, manage closely, and align with our partners on every transaction.

INVESTMENT FOCUS
Trades
Undervalued airframes and engines acquired and resold into demand, with disciplined entry pricing and short holds.
Rebuilds
Airframes and engines restored to service-ready condition, capturing value beyond the acquisition price.
Teardowns
End-of-life aircraft and engines parted out for higher-value components and reusable material.
