Antin Infrastructure Partners (ANTIN.PA,8ZU.F) announced Wednesday its agreement to acquire majority stake in Swiftair Group, a Spanish provider of aircraft, crew, operations and maintenance for express airfreight.
The financial terms are not disclosed. The transaction is expected to close in fourth quarter 2025.
Antin's Mid Cap Fund I will acquire majority stake in the Swiftair. Salvador Moreno, founder of Swiftair in 1996, will retain a significant minority stake, reinvesting in the company alongside other members of the management team.
Swiftair, with 2024 net revenue of 342 million euros and over 1,350 employees, provides airfreight capacity provision to Global Integrators, Mail Organisations and Freight Forwarders. The company currently operates 77 routes in over 45 countries.
Antin expects the acquisition will support a new phase of growth at the European provider of aircraft leasing and air transportation solutions for time-critical cargo.
Francisco Cabeza and Simon Soder of Antin said, "With its scale, unique market positioning and track record of providing reliable and essential transportation services to its strategic global client base, the company is a perfect fit for our mid cap strategy."
In the transaction, Antin was advised by Deutsche Bank and BBVA as financial co-advisers. Salvador Moreno was advised by Morgan Stanley as financial adviser.
On the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the stock was trading at 11.86 Euros, down 1.52 percent.
