Founded in 1998
Rockton was founded in 1998 and has successfully been investing in and leasing passenger aircraft, both turboprops, regional jets and aircraft engines. Rockton’s principals have backed over 75 airlines worldwide.
Since its inception, Rockton has arranged, managed and executed more than 40 commercial aircraft investments.
Today we are also focused on sustainable and climate-change mitigating aviation investments and assets.
Situated in the Nordics, Rockton has been inspired by the region’s corporate sector early sustainability movements and adhere to the notion that sustainability, growth and profitability go hand in hand in this ongoing transformation.
With the urgent need for action to address climate change, and limit global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures, sustainable aviation is a must.
Carbon emissions from aviation are expected to triple from the pre-pandemic level by year 2050 unless appropriate measures are taken. Although traditional aircraft technology development delivers some fuel efficiency improvements, it is not nearly enough to meet the aviation industry’s own net-zero carbon emissions goal by 2050.
Business and financial markets are concerned about the carbon footprint of flying, and so are governments, corporate customers, and the public. The industry faces negative reputational risk at a time when every sector of society must rally to action in the climate flight.
