Alton Aviation Consultancy Managing Director John Mowry led a session focused on the how a downturn would impact lessors and investors in aircraft leasing at the Investing in Aviation Finance conference hosted by Ishka in New York, a conference forum focused on connecting institutional investors to the aviation finance market.
The presentation highlights some of the recent distress experienced by airlines and the exposure of various asset backed securitizations (ABS) of leased aircraft to the challenged lessees. Via several representative case studies, the potential impact of a default on an individual aircraft lease, and on the exposed portfolios, was assessed.
