Fortress Investment Group LLC, owned by SoftBank Group Corp., is exploring a sale of British plane-leasing firm Falko Regional Aircraft Ltd., according to people familiar with the matter.

Falko, which has a portfolio of 131 aircraft, has attracted interest from suitors including Canada’s Chorus Aviation Inc., the people said, asking not to be identified as the discussions are private. New York-based Fortress is working with an adviser on the potential sale, they said, though no final decision has been made and a transaction may not be completed.
