Oasis International Leasing PJSC has launched an initiative to aggressively pursue new business opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa region and explore additional investment opportunities in various economic sectors. Senior Oasis executives toured selected countries in the region to hold exploratory meetings with public and private sector players.

Countries in the itinerary of the Oasis team were Bahrain, Jordan, Yemen and Oman in the Middle East. The team was also due to visit selected North African countries as part of the tour. At these meetings, Oasis will brief companies and government agencies about leasing and other financing solutions which are the company’s current focus areas.
Salem Rashid Al Noaimi, acting CEO of Oasis, said the leasing sector was poised to emerge stronger in the region, spurred by ongoing developmental activities and strong economic growth. “Oasis' board of directors and management has redefined the company’s business strategy to take advantage of the opportunities in the region.  We intend to be more active in both the regional and international markets,” he said.
“Oasis wants to become a strategic partner for public and private sector companies in the region that are implementing major projects in aviation, infrastructure and shipping. We feel that the best way to position ourselves is to create more awareness about the range of leasing and finance options that we offer,” the official said.
Al Noaimi explained that the Middle East aviation sector is expanding rapidly as the region’s economic growth and business opportunities boost air travel and lead to the establishment of new airline companies, including budget airlines in the region.  “The potential for aviation leasing and financing opportunities was never as strong as now,” he said.
Formed in 1997, Oasis International Leasing is engaged in the big-ticket leasing sector with a focus on aviation.   Oasis International Leasing is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Market.  Oasis was the first company in the Gulf to engage in financial leasing. Since its inception, the company has closed multi-million dollar deals with major airlines, including Etihad Airways and the acquisition of secured financing for 25 Airbus aircraft.
