What AerSale Corporation told the SEC could break it.
AerSale's disclosures center on customer concentration and the geopolitics of moving aircraft and parts across borders. Its revenue can lean heavily on a few buyers in any given year — none above 10% in 2025, but one at 15% in 2024 and two at 25% combined in 2023 — so a large customer's purchasing shifts can swing results. Its aircraft and engine leasing also carries geopolitical exposure: during conflict it may be unable to physically repossess flight equipment stranded in a hostile country or at a no-fly airport, while its substantial foreign revenue and international parts flows leave it exposed to U.S. trade policy — sanctions, tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, and embargoes.

In its own words
What could break it.
Customer concentration
- fluctuating large-customer concentration (15% in 2024; 25% across two in 2023)medium
AerSale's customer concentration swings year to year — no customer over 10% of revenue in 2025, but one was 15% in 2024 and two were 25% combined in 2023 — so a large customer's purchasing changes can materially move revenue.
“During the year ended December 31, 2025, no customer accounted more than 10% of total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2024, one customer accounted for 15 % of total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2023, two customers accounted for 25 % of total revenue.”

Other disclosures
- inability to repossess leased Flight Equipment in hostile countries / geopolitical conflictmedium
AerSale's aircraft/engine leasing exposes it to geopolitical risk — during conflict it may be unable to physically repossess Flight Equipment located in hostile countries or at airports under no-fly status (e.g., recent Middle East airspace disruptions).
“During times of military conflict or geopolitical tension, we may not be able to physically repossess Flight Equipment if it is located in a hostile country or at an airport location that is under no fly status.”

Regulatory & policy
- trade sanctions, tariffs and embargoes on international aviation operationsmedium
AerSale's substantial foreign revenue and international parts/equipment flows expose it to changes in U.S. trade policy — sanctions (e.g., on Russia), tariffs (Canada/Mexico/China) and embargoes — that could disrupt operations and raise costs.
“changes in United States policies on trade relations and trade policy, including implementation of or changes in trade sanctions (such as those imposed on Russia), tariffs (such as tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China that may or may not ultimately become effective), and embargoes.”
