Loren Dollet

Loren M. Dollet is an aviation-finance lawyer and former senior executive at Wings Capital Partners LLC, a Newport Beach-based aircraft leasing platform. SEC filings identify him in 2017 as Chief Legal & Administrative Officer and Managing Director of Wings, and in a 2019 amendment as Managing Director. Wings’ public materials describe the firm as a private, full-service aircraft leasing platform focused on single-aisle, in-production commercial jet aircraft leased to airlines around the world.

Before Wings, Dollet was an executive at Aviation Capital Group Corp. S&P Global Ratings’ servicer review for WAVE 2019-1 notes that several Wings senior managers previously worked at ACG, including Loren Dollet, who served as Wings’ chief legal and administrative officer. In 2013, while at ACG, Dollet was quoted as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer in connection with ACG’s successful Court of Appeal litigation against Olympic Airlines over aircraft-lease risk allocation.

Dollet’s legal background is concentrated in aircraft finance, equipment and project finance, and general corporate law. Public legal-directory records list him as Loren Marvin Dollet, educated at Haverford College with an A.B. in 1975 and the University of Virginia with a J.D. in 1978; they also list New York bar admission in 1979 and note that he is not admitted in California.

Wings announced on May 5, 2022 that Dollet, then Chief Legal Officer, had announced his retirement alongside Chief Commercial Officer Arthur Schmidt. The announcement described both as seasoned aviation professionals and thanked them for their contributions to the growth of Wings.

• No public source found substantiates the stub description of Dollet as an angel investor making seed-stage investments. The verified public record ties him to aviation leasing, aircraft finance, and legal/executive leadership at Wings and ACG.
• Wings’ stated platform focus is “primarily investing in single-aisle, in-production commercial jet aircraft on lease to airlines around the world.”
• Wings’ shareholders, Sightway Capital and Corrum Capital, frame the strategy as asset-intensive and cashflow-oriented investing. Sightway says it focuses on building companies in asset-intensive and data-rich industries with experienced management teams and strategic partners; Corrum describes an active, asset-level approach to cashflow-oriented investing, including commercial aviation leasing.
• Dollet’s own public comments at ACG emphasized enforceable lease documentation and commercial certainty. In the Olympic Airlines matter, he said that clear interpretation of aircraft leases facilitates efficient, cost-effective aircraft financing for lessors and airlines.
• Public Wings transactions suggest a capital-markets and asset-backed leasing model rather than a venture-style check model: examples include aircraft-backed note issuances, secured loan facilities, aircraft deliveries, and airline lease relationships.
