“Neil’s expertise, combined with CSI’s global footprint and customized financial solutions, will provide GSE companies with the tools they need for future growth.”

CSI will offer airlines, airports, air cargo, fixed-based operators, ground handlers and more with global financial solutions for a wide variety of industry-essential equipment.

Bennett said: “As an industry veteran, it doesn’t take long for me to see how CSI stands out. For years, customers have been asking me for a true global solution. Now, I can confidently say I have one with CSI. Our ability to lease GSE in more than 36 countries is revolutionary in this industry.”

In addition to global leasing capabilities, GSE customers will have the advantage of CSI’s online asset system, MyCSI, on a global basis as well.
