New York – Campbell Lutyens (“CL”) served as exclusive financial advisor to ERA Partners LLC (“ERA”) in the successful close of a $485 million single-asset continuation fund. ERA Blade Continuation Fund LP was substantially oversubscribed and will support ERA’s aerial wildland firefighting and heavy lift companies within their American Aviation Holdings investment platform.

With commitments from new and existing institutional infrastructure and real assets investors, as well as specialist secondary investors, the Fund will provide additional capital to advance the platform’s continued growth strategies, expand its fleet, and increase its presence in both domestic and international markets.

David Perrin, who led the project for Campbell Lutyens, commented: “It’s a reality of climate change that wildfires are more frequent and of greater intensity. We are pleased to support ERA in its mission to increase the supply of specialist firefighting aircraft to address a growing global problem.”
