History

Intrepid Aviation was founded by [7] Ron Anderson, a 20-year employee of FedEx, in 1994 and was originally based in Memphis, Tennessee. The company started by buying used passenger aircraft and having them converted into cargo aircraft for leasing. [1] In 2007, Intrepid placed an order for 20 Airbus A330-200 freighter aircraft. During the financial crisis of 2007–08, Intrepid had to negotiate delaying deliveries by three years. [1]

The company subsequently reconstituted its management team and relocated its corporate headquarters to Stamford, CT. In 2014, the company filed for an IPO with a fundraising target of $150 million. [2] [6] The company currently has equity commitments of up to $650 million from existing shareholders., [8] and raised $215 and $120 million in bonds on 2014 and 2015, respectively. In August 2015, Olaf Sachau was appointed as its CEO and Doug Winter as its President. [1]
