SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19 Aerostar Capital LLC, an international leader in aerospace private equity investing, has partnered with Presidio Global LLC to explore private equity investment opportunities in Asian aerospace markets. This move comes on the heels of dynamic developments in Asian aerospace, including the emergence of the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) as a future competitor to the long-standing Airbus/Boeing duopoly, the delivery of the first A320 assembled in China, India's rapidly growing defense expenditures, and continued liberalization of traditionally closed markets.
