    PROXY STATEMENT
     
    For the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to Be Held on
    May 28, 2026
    This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card and notice of annual general meeting are provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of FTAI Aviation Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company, for use at the Annual General Meeting to be held on May 28, 2026 and any adjournment or postponement thereof. “We,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” and “FTAI” each refers to FTAI Aviation Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The mailing address of our executive office is 405 W 13th Street, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10014. This Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy card and the notice of annual general meeting are first being mailed to holders of ordinary shares of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”), on or about April 15, 2026.
    At the date hereof, management has no knowledge of any business that will be presented for consideration at the Annual General Meeting and which would be required to be set forth in this Proxy Statement or the related proxy card other than the matters set forth in the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual General Meeting for consideration, it is intended that the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy and acting thereunder will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.
    Matters to be considered at the Annual General Meeting
    At the Annual General Meeting, shareholders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares will vote upon:
    (i)
    a proposal to elect three Class I directors to serve until the 2029 annual general meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified;
    (ii)
    a proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers;
    (iii)
    a proposal to approve the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for fiscal year 2026; and
    (iv)
    any other business that may properly come before the Annual General Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

    TABLE OF CONTENTS

    GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING
    Solicitation of Proxies
    The enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of our Board of Directors. The expense of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and the proxies solicited hereby will be borne by the Company. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by officers and directors, without additional remuneration, by personal interview, telephone or otherwise. The Company will also request brokerage firms, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record as of the close of business on April 1, 2026, and will provide reimbursement for the cost of forwarding the materials.
    Shareholders Entitled to Vote
    As of April 1, 2026, there were 102,580,660 Ordinary Shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Each Ordinary Share entitles the holder to one vote. Shareholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2026 are entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
    Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and these proxy materials were sent directly to you by the Company.
    Street Name Holders. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials will be or have been forwarded to you by your bank or broker. The bank or broker holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual General Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct your bank or broker on how to vote the shares held in your account. If you wish to attend the Annual General Meeting, you will need to obtain a “legal proxy” from your bank or broker.
    Required Vote
    A quorum will be present if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual General Meeting. If you have returned a valid proxy or if you hold your shares in your own name as holder of record and attend the Annual General Meeting in person, your shares will be counted as present for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” (as described below) will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.
    If a quorum is not present, the Annual General Meeting may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting until a quorum has been obtained.
    For the election of the nominees to our Board of Directors, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual General Meeting is sufficient to elect the nominee if a quorum is present. For the approval of Proposals 2 and 3, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual General Meeting is required to approve such matter.
    Broker non-votes are instances where a broker holding shares of record for a beneficial owner does not vote the shares because it has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and therefore is precluded by stock exchange rules from voting on a particular matter. Under these rules, when a broker holding shares in “street name” does not receive voting instructions from a beneficial owner, the broker has discretionary authority to vote on certain routine matters but is prohibited from voting on non-routine matters. Brokers who do not receive instructions are not entitled to vote on Proposals 1 and 2, but they are entitled to vote on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm.
    A vote “withheld” from a director nominee or a broker non-vote on a director nominee will have no effect on the outcome of the vote because it will not be counted in the number of votes cast on a matter and a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual General Meeting is required for the election of each director. Similarly, any abstentions or broker non-votes on Proposals 2 and 3 will not affect the outcome because abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast.

    TABLE OF CONTENTS

    If the enclosed proxy card is properly executed and returned to us in time to be voted at the Annual General Meeting, it will be voted as specified on the proxy card unless it is properly revoked prior thereto. If no specification is made on the proxy card as to any one or more of the proposals, the Ordinary Shares represented by the proxy will be voted as follows:
    (i)
    FOR the election of the nominees to our Board of Directors;
    (ii)
    FOR the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers;
    (iii)
    FOR the approval of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026; and
    (iv)
    in the discretion of the proxy holder on any other business that properly comes before the Annual General Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.
    As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other matter to be raised at the Annual General Meeting.
    Voting
    Shareholders of Record. If you are a shareholder of record, you may instruct the proxies to vote your shares online or by telephone, or by dating and mailing the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. In addition, you may vote your Ordinary Shares in person at the Annual General Meeting.
    Street Name Holders. If you are a street name holder, you will receive instructions from your bank or broker that you must follow to be able to attend the Annual General Meeting or to have your shares voted at the Annual General Meeting.
    Right to Revoke Proxy
    Shareholders of Record. If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy instructions through any of the following methods:
    •
    log onto the website provided on the proxy card and vote again;
    •
    dial the number provided on the proxy card and vote again;
    •
    send written notice of revocation, prior to the Annual General Meeting, to our Secretary, Ms. BoHee Yoon, at FTAI Aviation Ltd., 405 W 13th St, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10014;
    •
    sign, date and mail a new proxy card to our Secretary; or
    •
    attend the Annual General Meeting and vote your shares in person.
    Street Name Holders. If you are a street name holder, you must contact your bank or broker to receive instructions as to how you may revoke your proxy instructions.
    Copies of Annual Report to Shareholders
    A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our most recently completed fiscal year, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), will be mailed to shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting who have elected to receive a hard copy of the proxy materials and is also available without charge to shareholders upon written request to: FTAI Aviation Ltd., 405 W 13th St, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10014, Attention: Investor Relations. You can also find a copy of our Annual Report on the Investor Relations section of the FTAI website (www.ftaiaviation.com).
    Voting Results
    Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., our independent tabulating agent, will count the votes and act as the Inspector of Election. We will publish the voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual General Meeting.
    Confidentiality of Voting
    We keep all proxies, ballots and voting tabulations confidential as a matter of practice. We permit only our Inspector of Election, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., to examine these documents.

The number of directors on the board is currently fixed at seven. Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes. The members of each class of directors serve staggered three-year terms.

    The Board of Directors has unanimously proposed Joseph P. Adams, Jr., Judith A. Hannaway, and Martin Tuchman as nominees for election as Class I directors. The director nominees currently serve on our Board of Directors. If elected at the Annual General Meeting, each of Mr. Adams, Ms. Hannaway, and Mr. Tuchman will hold office until the 2029 annual general meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, subject to earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise instructed, we will vote all proxies we receive FOR Joseph P. Adams, Jr., Judith A. Hannaway, and Martin Tuchman. If any of the nominees becomes unable to stand for election as a director, an event that our Board of Directors does not presently expect, the proxy will be voted for a replacement nominee if one is designated by our Board of Directors.
    The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the election of Joseph P. Adams, Jr., Judith A. Hannaway, and Martin Tuchman to serve as our Class I directors until the 2029 annual general meeting of the shareholders and until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.
    Information Concerning Our Directors, Including the Director Nominees
    Set forth below is certain biographical information for our directors, including the director nominees, as well as the month and year each person was first elected as one of our directors.
    Each of our directors was selected because of the knowledge, experience, skill, and expertise the director contributes to the Board of Directors as a whole. Our directors have extensive familiarity with our business and experience from senior positions in large, complex organizations. In these positions, they gained core management skills, such as strategic and financial planning, public company financial reporting, corporate governance, risk management, and leadership development. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that each of the directors also has key attributes that are important to an effective Board of Directors: integrity and demonstrated high ethical standards; sound judgment; analytical skills; the ability to engage management and each other in a constructive and collaborative fashion; a broad range of background, experience, and thought; and the commitment to devote significant time and energy to service on the Board of Directors and its committees.

    Director Stock Ownership Guidelines. We require our non-employee directors, within five years, to accumulate and hold Ordinary Shares with a value equal to fives times their annual cash fees. For purposes of meeting these guidelines, Ordinary Shares beneficially owned directly or indirectly and unvested RSUs are included in actual ownership totals. Options are not included in actual ownership totals. In addition, non-employee directors must hold 50% of the net after-tax Ordinary Shares received from equity award vestings until the guidelines are satisfied. As of December 31, 2025, each non-employee director has either met or exceeded their ownership guideline or was within the five-year period for achieving the guideline.
    Determination of Director Independence
    If required under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), the Board of Directors shall be comprised of a majority of directors who qualify as independent directors (“Independent Directors”) under the listing standards of Nasdaq.
    Pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board of Directors must be comprised of a majority of directors who qualify as Independent Directors. The Board of Directors review annually the relationships that each director has with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company). Following such annual review, only those directors who the Board of Directors affirmatively determines satisfy the applicable independence requirements will be considered Independent Directors. The Board of Directors may adopt and disclose categorical standards to assist it in determining director independence. In the event that a director becomes aware of any change in circumstances that may result in such director no longer being considered independent under the listing standards of Nasdaq or under applicable law, the director must promptly inform the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our Board of Directors determined that Ms. Hannaway and Messrs. Gidumal, Goodwin, Levison, Robinson, and Tuchman qualify as independent directors under the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq.
    Statement on Corporate Governance
    We emphasize the importance of professional business conduct and ethics through our corporate governance initiatives. Our Board of Directors consists of a majority of independent directors (in accordance with Nasdaq rules). Our Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee are each composed entirely of independent directors.

    TABLE OF CONTENTS

    We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which delineate our standards for our officers and directors. We make available, free of charge through a link on our website, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to such reports, if any, as filed with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing. Our site also contains our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Code of Ethics for Senior Officers, Corporate Governance Guidelines, and the charters of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Our website address is www.ftaiaviation.com. You may also obtain these documents by writing the Company at 405 W 13th St, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10014, Attention: Investor Relations.
    As mentioned above, the Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is available on our website, that applies to all employees and each of our directors and officers, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The purpose of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public communications and reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the SEC, compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, accountability for adherence to the code and the reporting of violations thereof.
    The Company has also adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Officers, which is available on our website and which sets forth specific policies to guide the Company’s senior officers in the performance of their duties. This code supplements the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics described above. The Company intends to disclose any changes in or waivers from either code applicable to the Company’s executive officers or directors by posting such information on our website.
    The Company does not have a policy to separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, as the Board of Directors believes it is in the best interests of the Company to make that determination based on the position and direction of the Company and the membership of the Board. Mr. Adams has served as the Chairman of our Board of Directors, and of that of our predecessor entity, since May 2016 and as our Chief Executive Officer, and of that of our predecessor entity, since May 2015. The Board of Directors believes that having Mr. Adams serve as both our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman is an appropriate, effective and efficient leadership structure, especially given Mr. Adams’s extensive experience in the industry and on other boards. The Board of Directors has also determined that combining the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles provides for clear accountability and leadership responsibility, and facilitates effective decision-making and a cohesive corporate strategy. The Board of Directors periodically reviews its leadership structure.
    Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the selection of a lead independent director if the Chairperson of the Board is not an independent director. Ms. Hannaway is designated the lead independent director. The lead independent director serves as a liaison between the Company’s management and the independent directors and presides over executive sessions of independent directors, among other things. For additional information, including a description of the lead independent director’s responsibilities, please refer to our Corporate Governance Guidelines on our website.
    Sustainability
    As part of our strategy, we are focused on supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy and aim to provide sustainable aviation solutions by leveraging our business team’s expertise and business and financing relationships, as well as our access to capital.
    Insider Trading Policy
    We maintain a Public Company Insider Trading Compliance Policy that applies to members of our Board of Directors, our officers and all other employees, which we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations and listing standards. Our Public Company Insider Trading Compliance Policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024.
    Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

Material risks are identified and prioritized by management, and material risks are periodically discussed with the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, including risks and contingencies associated with each area. In addition to the formal compliance program, the Board of Directors encourages management to promote a corporate culture that incorporates risk management into the Company’s corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations.
    Compensation Committee. The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Robinson (Chairperson), Ms. Hannaway and Messrs.

    11

    TABLE OF CONTENTS

    Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Ms. Hannaway (Chairperson), and Messrs. Goodwin, Robinson, and Tuchman, each of whom has been determined by our Board of Directors to be an independent director in accordance with Nasdaq rules. The functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include, without limitation, the following: (a) recommending to the board individuals qualified to serve as directors of the Company and on committees of the board; (b) advising the board with respect to board composition, procedures and committees; (c) advising the board with respect to the corporate governance principles applicable to the Company; and (d) overseeing the evaluation of the board.

You may also obtain a copy of the charter by writing the Company at 405 W 13th St, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10014, Attention: Investor Relations.
    The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as required by the Company’s Articles, will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by shareholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board of Directors and the qualifications of the candidate and may take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held.
    The Company’s Articles provide certain procedures that a shareholder must follow to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors. Nominations for director at an annual shareholder meeting must be submitted in writing to the Company’s Secretary at FTAI Aviation Ltd., 405 W 13th St, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10014. The Secretary must receive the notice of a shareholder’s intention to introduce a nomination at an annual general meeting (together with certain required information set forth in the Company’s Articles) within the timeframes set forth below under “Advance Notice for Shareholder Nominations and Proposals for 2027 Annual General Meeting.”
    The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the qualifications for serving as a director of the Company are, taking into account such person’s familiarity with the Company, possession of such knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, integrity and a range of perspectives as would enhance the board’s ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Company, including, when applicable, the ability of committees of the board to fulfill their duties and/or to satisfy any independence requirements imposed by law, regulation or Nasdaq rule.
    In addition to considering a director-candidate’s background and accomplishments, the process for identifying and evaluating all nominees includes a review of the current composition of the Board of Directors and the evolving needs of our business. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will identify potential nominees by asking current directors and executive officers to notify the Committee if they become aware of suitable candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may, from time to time, engage firms that specialize in identifying director candidates. As described above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also consider candidates recommended by shareholders. Our evaluation of nominees does not necessarily vary depending on whether or not the nominee was nominated by a shareholder. In considering candidates submitted by shareholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. We do not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, but the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee strives to nominate individuals with a variety of complementary skills. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses its achievement of a balance of perspectives and experiences represented on the Board of Directors and their alignment with the Company’s strategic priorities as part of the Board of Directors’ annual self-assessment process.
    Executive Sessions of Independent Directors
    Executive sessions of the independent directors occur during the course of the year. Our lead independent director presides over such executive sessions.

    REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
    In accordance with and to the extent permitted by the rules of the SEC, the information contained in the following Report of the Audit Committee shall not be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s future filings made under the Exchange Act, and shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
    The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors, consistent with the corporate governance rules issued by the SEC and Nasdaq. The Audit Committee’s charter is available on the Company’s website at www.ftaiaviation.com. The members of the Audit Committee hold executive sessions during the course of the year.
    The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to prepare the Company’s financial statements, to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the financial statements and expressing an opinion as to whether those audited financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
    The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including a review of management’s and the independent registered public accounting firm’s assessments of and reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
    The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements in the annual report on Form 10-K.
    The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC, including the auditor’s judgment as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the consistency of their application and the clarity and completeness of the audited financial statements.
    The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable PCAOB requirements and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence.
    Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board of Directors agreed) that the audited financial statements be included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors also have recommended, subject to shareholder approval, the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026.

    COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
    Business Overview
    2025 was a transformational year for the Company during which we achieved significant strategic and financial milestones. Our strong financial performance supported by our differentiated business model positions us well for continued future growth.

    The Company conducts engine maintenance at its 100% owned facilities in Montréal, Miami, Lisbon, and Orange, as well as through its 50% equity ownership in QuickTurn Europe, located in Rome and 50% equity ownership in Prime Engine Accessories, located in Bristol, Connecticut.
    Named Executive Officers
    The Compensation Discussion and Analysis that follows provides a description of our executive compensation program for 2025. For 2025, our named executive officers (“NEOs”) were:
    •
    Joseph P. Adams, Jr., Chief Executive Officer
    •
    David Moreno, President
    •
    Stacy Kuperus, Chief Operating Officer
    •
    BoHee Yoon, General Counsel and Secretary
    •
    Eun (Angela) Nam, Former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer (who stepped down from her position as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer effective March 6, 2026)
    All of our NEOs were employed and compensated by us in 2025. Mr. Adams and Ms. Nam were employed and compensated by our former manager prior to the internalization of our management function to operate as an internally managed company, which occurred on May 28, 2024 (the “Internalization” and such date, the “Internalization Date”). Prior to the Internalization Date, Mr. Adams devoted a substantial portion of his time to the Company, although he did not exclusively provide services to us. Because our former manager compensated Mr. Adams based on the overall value of the various services that he performed for our former manager, our former manager informed us that it was not able to segregate and identify any portion of the compensation awarded to him prior to the Internalization Date (including for any part of 2023) as relating solely to service performed for us. However, in connection with the Internalization, the Company agreed to accrue for and pay Mr. Adams’ entire base salary and discretionary short-term incentive bonus payment for 2024, including for the
    16

    TABLE OF CONTENTS

    portion of 2024 prior to the Internalization Date. Accordingly, we have included information relating to the compensation paid to Mr. Adams for all of 2024 (including compensation for the portion of 2024 that preceded the Internalization Date) in the “Summary Compensation Table for 2025” below.
    In 2024, as well as in 2023, Ms. Nam was exclusively dedicated to providing services to us. Accordingly, the entire amount of the compensation that our former manager paid to Ms. Nam for the portion of 2024 that was prior to the Internalization Date, as well as the compensation that our former manager paid to Ms. Nam for 2023, was for services performed for us, and we have therefore reported that compensation for 2024 and 2023 in the “Summary Compensation Table for 2025” below.
    Executive Compensation Program Philosophy and Objectives

    TABLE OF CONTENTS

    Executive Compensation Governance Practices
    The compensation of our executive officers, including our NEOs, is overseen by our Compensation Committee, with assistance from an independent compensation consultant. The following table summarizes key governance elements related to the compensation program in which our NEOs participate:
     
     
     
     
    What We Do
     
     
    What We Don’t Do
    ✔ 
    Maintain a pay mix that is heavily performance-based
     
     
    ✘ 
    Provide single-trigger change in control agreements or excise tax gross-ups
    ✔ 
    Align NEO pay outcomes with company and individual performance
     
     
    ✘ 
    Permit hedging or pledging of the company's securities
    ✔ 
    Annually assess our peer group and competitive compensation practices
     
     
    ✘ 
    Guarantee annual salary increases or incentive bonuses
    ✔ 
    Seek annual shareholder advisory approval of NEO compensation
     
     
    ✘ 
    Provide minimum payouts under long-term incentive plans
    ✔ 
    Maintain strong stock ownership guidelines for NEOs and non-employee directors
     
     
    ✘ 
    Provide excessive perquisites
    ✔ 
    Maintain a robust compensation clawback policy covering cash and equity
     
     
    ✘ 
    Reprice stock options without shareholder approval
     
     
     
     
    Say on Pay
    We conduct an annual advisory “say-on-pay” vote on executive compensation. At the 2025 Annual Meeting, approximately 91% of votes cast supported the compensation program for our NEOs. Although this vote is non-binding, our Compensation Committee regularly reviews shareholder feedback and considers the results when evaluating and making changes to our executive compensation programs. Based on this input and its own assessment, our Compensation Committee concluded that our current executive compensation program effectively attracts, retains, and rewards our NEOs in a manner aligned with shareholder interests.
    Role of Our Compensation Committee in Executive Compensation
    Our Compensation Committee sets the compensation philosophy, financial objectives, policies and practices of compensation for our NEOs. In approving compensation levels and targets, individual objectives and financial performance measures and targets for our NEOs, our Compensation Committee focuses on the relationship between our executive compensation program and the achievement of our financial and strategic objectives, with an emphasis on creating a pay program that is aligned with the shareholder experience.
    Our Compensation Committee made all decisions regarding the compensation levels of our NEOs in 2025, including establishing base salaries and target annual cash bonus opportunities, granting equity awards, and determining earned incentives for 2025 performance for all of our NEOs.
    Role of Our NEOs in Executive Compensation
    For 2025, Mr. Adams made recommendations to our Compensation Committee regarding each NEO’s compensation, excluding his own. Additionally, management provided input into the design of the 2025 incentive compensation programs to ensure that these programs support the Company’s business objectives and strategic priorities. As appropriate, certain members of the senior management team attend Compensation Committee meetings but are not present for executive sessions. The CEO’s compensation is discussed and approved during executive sessions of our Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors without the CEO present. Our Compensation Committee makes all final decisions with respect to compensation of our other NEOs.
    Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
    Our Compensation Committee reviews the competitiveness of our executive compensation program and recent governance trends relating to executive compensation when determining the compensation levels for our NEOs. To assist in this process, our Compensation Committee retained FW Cook as its independent compensation consultant to provide advice on our executive compensation practices. FW Cook does no work for the Company or our management team that is not under the Compensation Committee’s purview. Representatives

    of FW Cook attended certain meetings of our Compensation Committee, including meeting with members of our Compensation Committee without members of management present. During 2025, our Compensation Committee reviewed the independence of FW Cook using assessment criteria under the applicable Nasdaq rules and concluded that the retention of FW Cook did not raise any conflicts of interest.
    Compensation Peer Group
    In September 2024, our Compensation Committee, with the support of the management team and FW Cook, reviewed the peer group. The peer group was used in making 2025 executive and non-employee director compensation decisions including pay levels, incentive design, and governance best practices. The criteria utilized when reviewing the peer group were as follows:
    •
    Scale: Approximately 0.3x – 3.0x of the Company’s revenue, market cap, and enterprise value
    •
    Industry: Companies in Aerospace & Defense, Industrial Machinery, and Trading Companies & Distributors
    •
    Business Operations: Companies with aircraft or other leasing equipment, manufacturing or servicing industrial machinery, etc.
    The table below reflects the companies that comprise the peer group that was used for market comparisons, general analysis, and setting executive compensation for 2025.

    In addition to the peer group, we supplemented our comparative analysis with broader industry survey data, size-adjusted to reflect the Company’s scale and scope.
    Elements of our Executive Compensation Program for 2025
    The compensation program for our NEOs consists of an annual base salary, the ability to earn short-term incentive awards based on individual and Company performance, the ability to earn long-term equity incentive awards, and participation in employee benefit plans and programs that , subject to certain exceptions described below, are at the same level and on the same terms that apply to the Company’s employees generally. The following is a detailed description of each material element of our compensation program for our named executive officers for 2025.
    Base Salary. Base salary is a fixed component of compensation for each of our NEOs. Base salaries are intended to reflect the position, duties and responsibilities of each NEO and were set competitively based on market data. Our Compensation Committee annually reviews the base salaries of our NEOs to determine if any adjustments are warranted. Salaries are determined based on relative data for similar roles, individual performance, and overall competitive positioning.
    The 2025 base salaries for Mr. Adams and Ms. Nam were the same as in 2024. Year-over-year comparisons are not provided for Mr. Moreno, Ms. Kuperus, and Ms. Yoon, as they were not NEOs in 2024. The 2025 base salaries for our NEOs as of December 31, 2025 are shown in the table below:

See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures section in Annex A for a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.
    Our 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $1,280.2 million exceeded the maximum performance threshold under the 2025 AIP, resulting in a maximum payout for the financial component. In addition, based on each NEO’s significant contributions to key strategic and growth initiatives during the year, as well as the many accomplishments listed in the “Business Overview – Full Year 2025 Key Highlights” section above, our Compensation Committee determined that our NEOs, including our CEO, achieved the highest level of individual/strategic performance, leading to total payouts at 200% of target for all of our NEOs.

    Long-Term Incentive Awards (“LTI”). Our LTI program consists of equity-based incentive compensation designed to support retention of key talent, align the interests of our NEOs with those of shareholders, and reward long-term performance achievements. 
    Our NEOs receive annual LTI equity awards in the first quarter of the year following the applicable performance year. In March 2025, we granted LTI equity awards to our NEOs as part of our annual grant cycle in the form of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) (weighted 50% of target grant value) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) (weighted 50% of target grant value). The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through each vesting date. The PSUs may be earned from 0 to 200% of the target number of PSUs based on two performance measures: our relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) versus the TSR of the companies in the S&P 400 (weighted 50%) and our adjusted earnings per diluted share, each measured over a three-year performance period.
    The size of the March 2025 grants to Mr. Adams and Ms. Nam was based in part on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of each of Mr. Adams’ and Ms. Nam’s performance in 2024, and also considered the one-time RSUs granted to Mr. Adams and Ms. Nam in 2024 related to the Internalization. The table below describes the RSUs and PSUs granted to our NEOs in March 2025.

    Mr. Moreno, Ms. Kuperus, and Ms. Yoon were appointed as NEOs in April 2025, and their March 2025 grants were not determined by our Compensation Committee. The size of Ms. Yoon’s March 2025 grants considered a one-time grant of RSUs granted to Ms. Yoon in 2024 related to the Internalization.
    2025 Total Annual Compensation Table. The table below reflects how our Compensation Committee views the compensation paid to our CEO and each of our other NEOs for 2025 performance. It is important to recognize that the way we present the compensation paid to our CEO and each of our other NEOs for 2025 performance in the table below is different from the SEC-required disclosure in the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 (shown below, in “Compensation Tables—Summary Compensation Table for 2025”) and is not a substitute for the information in that table. Rather, the table below is intended to show how our Compensation Committee viewed the total annual compensation for our CEO and each of our other NEOs during the Compensation Committee’s decision-making process with respect to 2025 performance.
    As described with the Summary Compensation Table for 2025, in accordance with the SEC disclosure rules, the amounts shown in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 reflect the grant date fair value of the LTI equity awards made as part of our annual grant cycle in March 2025 following the 2024 performance year, as determined pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718. The amounts shown in the “Stock Awards” column of the table below reflect the target grant date values of the LTI awards made to our NEOs in February 2026 as part of our annual grant cycle following the 2025 performance year. In accordance with the SEC disclosure rules, the grant date fair value of these LTI awards, as determined pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718, will be included in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2026 that will be included in our proxy statement filed in 2027.

He also received an annual discretionary short-term incentive award, an initial grant of 58,498 Internalization RSUs (as described above) provided that, within 90 days of the Internalization Date, he purchased 58,498 Ordinary Shares (the “Post-Start Date Shares”), and he is also eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans that are generally made available to similarly situated employees. Mr. Adams is also subject to a post-termination non-competition covenant for a 12-month period following a termination for cause or a resignation other than for good reason and certain non-solicitation covenants for an 18-month period following his termination of employment for any reason.

    For purposes of the offer letters with each of Mr. Adams and Ms. Nam, good reason generally means the occurrence of any of the following events without the named executive officer’s consent: (i) a material and adverse change in scope of their responsibilities, authority, title, position or reporting structure (including no longer reporting to the Board of Directors for Mr. Adams or to the Chief Executive Officer for Ms. Nam); (ii) the Company’s or FTAI Aviation LLC’s material breach under the offer letter or any other material agreement, (iii) a material reduction in base salary (other than a salary reduction affecting all similarly situated executives of the Company or FTAI Aviation LLC of no more than 10%), (iv) a change in geographic location to outside of New York, New York, or (v) the failure of FTAI Aviation LLC to obtain assumption of the offer letter by its successor.
    Tax Considerations
    As a general matter, our Compensation Committee considers various tax and accounting implications of our existing and proposed compensation programs. We consider the tax-deductibility of compensation in designing our executive compensation programs, but it is not our sole consideration and our Compensation Committee retains the discretion to award compensation that is non-deductible.
    Equity Grant Practices
    Following the Internalization, we do not grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar option-like instruments and, as such, we do not have any policy or practice in place on the timing of such awards in relation to the disclosure of material non-public information.
    Clawback Policy
    We have adopted a clawback policy covering our executive officers that provides that in the event of a required accounting restatement, our Compensation Committee will seek reimbursement of the portion of any
    23

    TABLE OF CONTENTS

    incentive-based compensation that would not have been paid had our financial statements been correctly stated. In addition to the recovery of incentive-based compensation mandated by the SEC, our recoupment policy also provides our Compensation Committee with the discretion to recoup any time-based equity awards from any executive officer if Our Compensation Committee determines that the required accounting restatement was at least in part the result of gross misconduct by such executive officer.
    Risk Management
    Our Compensation Committee is responsible for monitoring the risks and rewards associated with our executive compensation program. Our Compensation Committee implemented a well-balanced executive compensation program that was designed to avoid creating incentives that encourage unnecessary or excessive risks that could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company. This program uses a mix of short- and long-term incentives to ensure that our management team focuses on the long-term impact of short-term decisions and that our management team’s interests are aligned with the interests of our shareholders. In addition, our Compensation Committee is regularly informed about the compensation programs in place for other employees and has concluded that these policies and practices also avoid creating incentives that encourage unnecessary or excessive risks that could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company. Our anti-hedging and anti-pledging policy and our clawback policy further mitigate compensation-related risks.

    COMPENSATION TABLES
    Summary Compensation Table for 2025
    The following table provides additional information regarding the compensation paid to or earned by our NEOs with respect to the applicable fiscal years shown in the table.
    For Ms. Nam, the table includes information in respect of the last three completed fiscal years, which, in the case of 2023 and the portion of 2024 which preceded the Internalization Date, was determined and paid by our former manager. For Mr. Adams, the table include information in respect of the last two completed fiscal years. As previously described, our former manager informed us that it was not able to segregate and identify any portion of the compensation earned by Mr. Adams in respect of 2023 and the portion of 2024 which preceded the Internalization as relating solely to services performed for us. However, in connection with the Internalization, the Company agreed to accrue for and pay Mr. Adams’ entire base salary and discretionary short-term incentive bonus for 2024, including the portion of 2024 prior to the Internalization Date. Therefore, this Summary Compensation Table for 2025 includes compensation for Mr. Adams relating to all of 2024 (including compensation for the portion of 2024 that preceded the Internalization Date), but does not include information relating to the compensation paid to Mr. Adams by our former manager for 2023. For our NEOs other than Mr. Adams and Ms. Nam who were newly appointed as executive officers in 2025, the table includes information in respect of the last fiscal year.

    The amounts shown reflect the grant date fair value of our LTI equity awards made as part of our annual grant cycle in March 2025 following the 2024 performance year, as determined pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718, including (i) $1,187,540, $1,375,115, $750,039, $150,112, and $100,074 for Mr. Adams, Mr. Moreno, Ms. Kuperus, Ms. Yoon, and Ms. Nam, respectively, in respect of the RSUs and (ii) $1,459,714, $1,690,279, $921,941, $184,516, and $123,010 for Mr. Adams, Mr. Moreno, Ms. Kuperus, Ms. Yoon, and Ms. Nam, respectively, in respect of the PSUs. The amounts shown with respect to the PSUs assume performance at target performance levels (i.e., 100%). If maximum performance levels (i.e., 200%) had been assumed, the grant date fair value of the PSUs would have been (i) $2,936,284, $3,400,078, $1,853,888, $371,162, and $247,442 for Mr. Adams, Mr. Moreno, Ms. Kuperus, Ms. Yoon, and Ms. Nam, respectively. For complete valuation assumptions for each of these awards, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026. As described above, the grant date values of the RSUs and PSUs granted to our NEOs in February 2026 as part of our annual grant cycle following the 2025 performance year have not been included here in accordance with SEC disclosure rules, and will instead be included in our proxy statement filed in 2027 in respect of 2026 compensation.
    (2)
    This amount consists of (i) $10,500 for each of Mr. Adams, Mr. Moreno, Ms. Kuperus, Ms. Yoon, and Ms. Nam, respectively, of 401(k) matching contributions, (ii) $5,652, $5,652, $3,696, $3,804 and $5,652 for Mr. Adams, Mr. Moreno, Ms. Kuperus, Ms. Yoon, and Ms. Nam, respectively, of separate additional healthcare for NEOs, (iii) $10,000 for Mr. Adams of additional insurance premiums covered by the Company, and (iv) compensation of $155,038 paid on a deferred basis pursuant to the Internalization for Ms. Yoon.
    (3)

    Represents the possible payouts under the 2025 AIP, which can be earned between 0% to 200% of target based on achievement of the applicable Adjusted EBITDA metrics, as described above under Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program for 2025.
    (2)
    Awards represent PSUs that are subject to two performance-based vesting conditions: (i) our relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) versus the TSR of the companies in the S&P 400 (weighted 50%) and (ii) our adjusted earnings per diluted share, each measured over a three-year performance period. The number of Ordinary Shares earned could range from 0% to a maximum of 200% depending on the level of achievement of the applicable performance targets.
    (3)
    Awards represent RSUs that time-vest in three equal installments on each of February 28, 2026, February 28, 2027, and February 28, 2028, subject to the executive’s continued employment through each vesting date.
    (4)
    The amounts shown reflect the grant date fair value of our LTI equity awards made as part of our annual grant cycle in March 2025 following the 2024 performance year, as determined pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718. For complete valuation assumptions of each of these awards, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026. The amounts shown with respect to the PSUs assume performance at target (i.e., 100%).

    Upon the grant of options to the former manager, such options were fully vested and become exercisable over a 30-month period (the “Total Exercisability Period”) in monthly installments beginning on the first of each month following the month in which the options were granted. When Tandem Options are granted, the former manager options become exercisable in monthly installments over a portion of the Total Exercisability Period equal to 30 months, minus the product of (i) the ratio of former manager options subject to corresponding Tandem Options to the total number of former manager options (including former manager options subject to corresponding Tandem Options) multiplied by (ii) 30 (such period, the “Former Manager Exercisability Period”). Following the Former Manager Exercisability Period, the Tandem Options vest in generally monthly installments over the remainder of the Total Exercisability Period and become exercisable only at the end of the Total Exercisability Period.

    Potential Payments Upon Change-in-Control or Termination
    As described above in the sections of this Proxy Statement titled “Offer Letters with our Named Executive Officers,” certain of our NEOs are eligible to receive severance payments and benefits (including acceleration of their Internalization RSUs) in connection with the termination of their employment by us without cause, their resignation for good reason, or their termination as a result of death or disability, including following a change in control. In addition, each of NEOs are eligible to receive accelerated vesting of certain of their equity-based awards in connection with the termination of their employment by us without cause, their resignation for good reason or their termination as a result of death or disability, including following a change in control.
    2025 RSUs. In 2025, each of our NEOs received RSU awards that vest in three equal annual installments on February 28, 2026, February 28, 2027, and February 28, 2028, subject to continued employment. If the participant's employment is terminated other than for cause or as a result of death or disability prior to the final vesting date (subject to the participant's execution of a release of claims), the RSUs that are scheduled to vest on the next vesting date will immediately vest. Any remaining unvested RSUs will be forfeited.
    2025 PSUs. In 2025, each of our NEOs received two PSU awards: one subject to a diluted EPS performance metric (the “EPS Award”) and one subject to a relative TSR performance metric (the “TSR Award”). The performance period for the EPS Award is from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027. The performance period for the TSR Award is from February 28, 2025 through February 28, 2028. Any earned units will vest on February 28, 2028 under both awards. If the participant’s employment is terminated as a result of
    29

    TABLE OF CONTENTS

    death or disability on or before the end of the applicable performance period, all PSUs (under both the EPS and TSR Awards) will remain outstanding and eligible to vest on the vesting date subject to actual achievement of the performance-based vesting conditions. Under the Diluted EPS Awards, if such termination occurs after the end of the performance period, any earned units will remain outstanding and eligible to vest on the vesting date. If the participant experiences a Qualifying Involuntary Termination on or before the end of the applicable performance period, a pro-rata portion of the PSUs (calculated based on the ratio of the number of days of employment during the performance period to the total number of days in the performance period) will remain outstanding and eligible to vest subject to actual achievement of the performance conditions. Under the EPS Awards, if such termination occurs after the end of the performance period, any earned units will remain outstanding and eligible to vest on the vesting date. Upon a Change in Control on or before the end of the performance period, the number of earned units under the EPS Awards will be determined as if the performance period had ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter preceding the Change in Control (after any adjustments determined by the Committee), while the number of earned units under the Relative TSR awards will be determined as if the performance period had ended on the date of consummation of the Change in Control. Under both awards, earned units will remain outstanding and continue to vest on the applicable vesting date, subject to continued employment. However, if the surviving or successor entity does not assume, convert, substitute or replace the earned units, all unvested earned units will immediately vest on the Change in Control date, and if the successor entity assumes the earned units and the participant experiences a Qualifying Involuntary Termination within 12 months following the Change in Control, all unvested earned units will immediately vest.
    Outperformance PSUs. In 2024, each of our NEOs received Outperformance PSUs that are subject to both performance-based vesting conditions and employment-based vesting conditions. The performance period is from November 5, 2024 through November 5, 2027. Any earned units will vest in three equal annual installments on November 5, 2027, November 5, 2028, November 5, 2029. If the participant’s employment is terminated as a result of death or disability on or before the end of the performance period, the PSUs will remain outstanding and 100% of any earned units will immediately vest on the first vesting date (the amounts shown in the table below assume performance at threshold of 10%). If the participant’s employment is terminated other than for cause or the participant resigns for good reason (a “Qualifying Involuntary Termination”) on or before the end of the performance period, the PSUs will remain outstanding and 33.3% of any earned units will immediately vest on the first vesting date (assuming performance at threshold of 10%). If a Qualifying Involuntary Termination occurs after the end of the performance period, the next tranche of earned units that would have vested on the next vesting date will immediately vest. Upon a Change in Control on or before the end of the performance period, earned units will be determined as if the performance period had ended on the date of such Change in Control, and any earned units will vest in three equal annual installments on each of the Change in Control date and the first two anniversaries thereof, subject to continued employment. If a Change in Control occurs after the end of the performance period, any earned units that remain unvested continue to vest on the regular vesting dates, subject to continued employment. In either case, if the surviving or successor entity does not assume, convert, substitute or replace the earned units, all unvested earned units will immediately vest on the Change in Control date. If the successor entity assumes the earned units and the participant experiences a Qualifying Involuntary Termination within 12 months following the Change in Control, all unvested earned units will immediately vest.
    David Moreno. In 2024, Mr. Moreno was granted 25,000 RSUs and 25,000 stock option at an exercise price of $79.13 per share, each vesting in two equal annual installments on June 30, 2027 and June 30, 2028. If Mr. Moreno’s employment is terminated other than for cause, due to death or disability, or he resigns for good reason, then (subject to his execution of a release of claims): (i) prior to June 30, 2026, 25% of the RSUs and 25% of the stock options will immediately vest, or (ii) on or after June 30, 2026 but prior to June 30, 2027, 50% of the RSUs and 50% of the stock options will immediately vest.
    Stacy Kuperus. In 2024, Ms. Kuperus was granted 15,000 RSUs and 15,000 stock options at an exercise price of $79.13 per share, each vesting in two equal annual installments on June 30, 2027 and June 30, 2028. If Ms. Kuperus's employment is terminated other than for cause or due to death or disability, then (subject to her execution of a release of claims): (i) prior to June 30, 2026, 25% of the RSUs and 25% of the stock options will immediately vest, or (ii) on or after June 30, 2026 but prior to June 30, 2027, 50% of the RSUs and 50% of the stock options will immediately vest.

    For 2025, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Adams to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 77.3 to 1.
    This reflects analysis of our global workforce of 890 employees as of December 31, 2025, including part-time employees. We did not include independent contractors or employees of our joint ventures in our determination. In order to identify our median employee, we reviewed fiscal year 2025 gross wages (which includes annualized base wages, time-related bonuses (such as overtime pay and shift premiums), vacation and holiday pay, and other allowances) and year-end bonuses for all of our employees, which measure was consistently applied to all our employees included in the calculation. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying our median employee for 2025.
    Once we identified our median employee for 2025 using the methodology described above, we determined the median employee’s annual total compensation for 2025 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c) of Regulation S-K consistent with the calculation of the 2025 annual total compensation of our CEO as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 in this Proxy Statement.
    This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. The information disclosed in this section was developed and is provided solely to comply with specific, legal requirements. We do not use this information in managing our Company.

    Pay Versus Performance
    As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for 2025. As described above, our CEO did not receive any compensation from us prior to the Internalization Date and was compensated solely by our former manager, with all related compensation decisions made by our former manager, until the Internalization; accordingly, we do not include disclosure for 2023 or prior years in this section.

    PROPOSAL NO. 2:
    ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
    In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related SEC rules, we are asking our shareholders to vote at the Annual General Meeting to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this proxy statement.
    As discussed in detail under “Compensation Discussion & Analysis,” our objective is to provide a market-based executive compensation program tied to performance and aligned with the interests of our shareholders.
    We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our NEOs’ compensation as described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to vote on an advisory basis “FOR” the following non-binding resolution:
    “RESOLVED, that the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion & Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby approved.”
    The vote on this proposal is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to all compensation relating to our NEOs, as described in this proxy statement. The vote is advisory and is not binding on the Company, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions expressed by shareholders in their votes on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions and policies regarding our NEOs.
    The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR”
    the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.

    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
    Transactions with Related Persons
    SEC rules define “transactions with related persons” to include any transaction in which the Company is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any “related person,” including any officer, director, nominee for director or beneficial holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing, has a direct or indirect material interest. The Company adopted a written policy that outlines procedures for approving transactions with related persons, and the independent directors review and approve or ratify such transactions pursuant to the procedures outlined in this policy. In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction with a related person, the independent directors will consider a variety of factors they deem relevant, such as: the terms of the transaction; the terms available to unrelated third parties; the benefits to the Company; and the availability of other sources for comparable assets, products or services. The policy includes standing pre-approvals for specified categories of transactions, including investments in securities offerings and participation in other investment opportunities generally made available to employees.
    Strategic Capital Initiative
    On December 30, 2024, the Company announced the launch of a Strategic Capital Initiative (“SCI”) in collaboration with third-party institutional investors. The SCI, and its related partnerships, allows the Company to maintain an asset-light business model while the partnerships actively acquire on-lease narrowbody aircraft at scale. The first partnership under the initiative (the “2025 Partnership”) focuses on acquiring 737NG and A320ceo aircraft. The 2025 Partnership completed its fundraise in October 2025 with $2.0 billion of equity commitments.
    The 2025 Partnership, and follow-on partnerships, is the primary buyer of all future on-lease 737NG and A320ceo aircraft. The Company is the Servicer of the 2025 Partnership and is responsible for lessee invoicing and collections, airline relationship management, contracts management including lease extension and aircraft deliveries and redeliveries. The Company receives customary, market-based compensation for providing such services. The Company also made a 19% minority capital commitment and will make additional commitments to the 2025 Partnership in the same proportion relative to additional third-party institutional investors.
    Our directors and executive officers may invest their own capital in SCI, without being subject to management fees, carried interest or incentive fees. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Mr. Moreno, our President, had a gross contribution relating to his personal investment in SCI of $2.0 million and a trust controlled by his immediate family member had a gross contribution of $5 million, and Mr. Tuchman, a director, had a gross contribution relating to his personal investment in SCI of $7.0 million.
    Other
    An adult sibling of Ms. Kuperus, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, was employed by the Company on a full-time basis during the year ended December 31, 2025 in a non-executive officer capacity as a vice president, with total annual compensation of $325,653 and a $100,000 grant of RSUs under the Plan. The compensation of such adult sibling is comparable to other Company employees at a similar level and was determined in accordance with our standard compensation practices.

    PROPOSAL NO. 3
    APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP AS INDEPENDENT
    REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
    Proposed Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
    KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), independent registered public accountants, served as the independent registered public accounting firm for us and our subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Audit Committee has appointed KPMG to be our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and has further directed that the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm be submitted for approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
    Representatives of KPMG will be present in person at the Annual General Meeting, will be given the opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.
    The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for fiscal year 2026.
    Principal Accountant Fees and Services
    The Audit Committee approved the engagement of KPMG effective June 17, 2025. In connection with the engagement of KPMG, on June 17, 2025, the Company dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm did not result from any dissatisfaction with the quality of professional services rendered by EY.
    EY’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the subsequent interim period through June 17, 2025, there have been (i) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to EY’s satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years and (ii) no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
    The following table presents fees for professional audit services and other services rendered to our Company by KPMG for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and EY for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

    Tax Fees. Includes fees for services relating to tax compliance, including the preparation, review and filing of tax returns, as well as tax consulting.
    All Other Fees. Includes fees for access to accounting and tax database.
    The Audit Committee has considered all services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to us and concluded this involvement is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
    The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and approving the terms of the independent registered public accounting firm’s services. The Audit Committee has a policy requiring the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.

    In order for a shareholder proposal, including proposals regarding director nominees, submitted outside of Rule 14a-8 to be considered at any annual general meeting of shareholders, our Articles require that such proposal be made by an eligible shareholder who has delivered a timely notice to the Secretary of the Company at our principal executive offices and otherwise meets the information and procedural requirements prescribed by our Articles. Subject to certain exceptions, in order for a proposal relating to business to be conducted at our 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders to be “timely” under the Company’s Articles, it must be received by the Secretary of the Company at our principal executive office no earlier than January 28, 2027 and no later than February 27, 2027. All director nominations and shareholder proposals, other than shareholder proposals made pursuant to Rule 14a-8, must comply with the requirements of our Articles, or they may be excluded from consideration at the meeting.
    In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act by March 29, 2027.
    OTHER MATTERS
    The Board of Directors knows of no other business to be brought before the Annual General Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual General Meeting, the proxies will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons named as proxies therein, or their substitutes, present and acting at the meeting.
    No person is authorized to give any information or to make any representation not contained in this Proxy Statement, and, if given or made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorized. The delivery of this Proxy Statement shall not, under any circumstances, imply that there has not been any change in the information set forth herein since the date of the Proxy Statement.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
    We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC, which are available to the public from commercial document retrieval services and on the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. In addition, our SEC filings are available, free of charge, on our website: www.ftaiaviation.com. Such information will also be furnished upon written request to FTAI Aviation Ltd., 405 W 13th St, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10014, Attention: Investor Relations.
    The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy materials, including the annual report, proxy statement and Notice of Internet Availability, if applicable, with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single set of proxy materials to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or the Company that they or the Company will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate set of proxy materials, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or the Company if you hold registered shares. You can notify the Company by sending a written request to FTAI Aviation Ltd., 405 W 13th St, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10014, Attention: Investor Relations or by contacting Investor Relations at (332) 239-7600, and we will deliver promptly a separate set of proxy materials.

    Aerospace Products
    Includes the following items for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024: (i) net income (loss) of $2,896 and $(1,993), (ii) depreciation and amortization expense of $954 and $224, and (iii) tax benefit of $72 and $0, respectively.
    Adjusted EBITDA
    In addition to net income (loss), the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). This performance measure provides the CODM with the information necessary to assess operational performance and make resource and allocation decisions. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful metric for investors and analysts for similar purposes of assessing our operational performance.
    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to shareholders from continuing operations, adjusted (a) to exclude the impact of provision for (benefit from) income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition and transaction expenses, losses on the modification or extinguishment of debt and preferred shares and capital lease obligations, asset impairment charges, incentive allocations, depreciation and amortization expense, dividends on preferred shares and interest expense, internalization fee to affiliate, (b) to include the impact of our pro-rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities and (c) to exclude the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities, if any.
