THE AIRCRAFT LEASE SECURITIZATION MARKET IS EVOLVING as evidenced by an increase in these transactions over the last few years. Indications are that 2017 may surpass 2016 in total number of aircraft lease securitizations. Three potentially significant issues for the aircraft lease securitization market during 2017 and in 2018 are (1) the applicability of the U.S. risk retention rule (Risk Retention Rule; see 79 FR 77602) to aircraft lease securitizations, (2) the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s rules regarding margin requirements for uncleared swaps, and (3) compliance with the Volcker Rule.
This article explains the structure of aircraft lease securitizations and certain bankruptcy and rating agency issues that must be considered in structuring these transactions, the benefits of using the debt capital markets for aviation financing, and the issues for the aircraft lease securitization market during 2017 and in 2018.
Aircraft lease securitizations generally come in two types: aircraft lease portfolio securitizations and enhanced equipment trust certificate (EETC) securitizations.
