Interesting how Asian FDI used in European aircraft leasing business. A positive and valuable global collaboration with Europe and China, or economic strategic risk to Europe?
HNA, owned by Chinese company Bohai, holds 70% of Avolon, with Japanese firm Orix Aviation Systems owning the remainder.

Some background:
2016
- In January 2016, the HNA Group via its Bohai Leasing affiliate, purchased Irish aircraft leasing company Avolon. When combined with HNA's existing aircraft leasing business, the new entity with over 500 aircraft will become the world's fourth largest aircraft leasing business by asset value.[64]
