From Concept to Sky-High Returns: A Skylease25 Success Story
🛫 When we launched Skylease25, our goal was to bring the stability of real estate investing to the dynamic world of aviation. Today, I'm excited to share a brief success story that showcases the potential of this innovative investment model.
Case Study: The Citation Excel Opportunity
Challenge: Identify an undervalued aircraft with strong market demand and implement a value-add strategy.
Solution: We acquired a Citation Excel at 30% below market value due to our industry connections. Our team then:
1. Upgraded the avionics
2. Lightly refreshed the interior
3. Secured a long-term lease with a reputable charter operator
Results:
✅ 8% annual fixed return to investors from day one
✅ 35% appreciation in aircraft value over 24 months
✅ Projected 27% annualized return at exit
Key Lessons:
1. Deep industry knowledge is crucial for identifying true value opportunities
2. Strategic upgrades can significantly boost asset value and leasing potential
3. A strong operator network is essential for securing favorable leases
This success reinforces our belief in the Skylease25 model, which combines the best of real estate investing principles with the growth potential of aviation.
Have you faced similar challenges in identifying and maximizing value in alternative investments? I'd love to hear your experiences and insights!

“Humans don’t go away. They just change what they’re doing,” says Brian Yutko, CEO at Wisk, on building autonomous, passenger-carrying electric aircraft. “And it takes so much more than thinking about the airplane in order to pull this off.”
Wisk is deep in the process of designing, building, and certifying a self-flying, all-electric, four-seat air taxi. Their 6th Generation aircraft represents more than a decade of development and testing. With improvements to configuration, a larger passenger cabin, and the implementation of an autonomy platform, Generation 6 features a new level of safety and passenger experience.
To hear an update on Wisk’s progress — including type certification and operational approvals for Gen 6 — watch Brian’s fascinating presentation from the UP.Summit below.
Presentations like this are just one element of the UP.Summit, our annual gathering of mobility entrepreneurs and innovators. With the 2024 event just around the corner, stay tuned to all our channels for news about the 2024 edition of the UP.Summit!

When business developer Monika Maciejewska returned from representing MakoLab at SAE International's Aerotech 2024, she shared her observations on challenges and innovations in the aviation industry ✈️
The time line stretching from the invention of a technology to its full commercial use is a long one. Monika emphasised that many of the solutions currently in use were invented in the 1920s, but the commercialisation process took almost thirty years. Issues like the lack of unified data and complex international regulations are just some of the obstacles to be overcome on the road to innovation.
