About SMFL Helicopters

About Us

SMFL Helicopters (SMFLH) is a global helicopter lessor and a Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing (SMFL) Group Company.

With a commitment to disciplined growth and sustainable innovation, SMFLH was originally formed through the launch of a helicopter leasing joint venture between SMFL and LCI in 2020. It has expanded through the subsequent acquisitions of LCI and Macquarie Rotorcraft Limited (MRL) and is, today, the world’s fastest-growing helicopter lessor.

We have a highly skilled and experienced team, broad global operating platform, and suite of innovative leasing and finance solutions. This gives us the trust, scale, value and efficiency to fulfil the needs of helicopter operators and end users around the world.
