KBRA Releases Research – Aircraft Engine-Backed Financing Gains Momentum With Institutional Investors

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases its Aircraft Engine-Backed Financing Gains Momentum With Institutional Investors report, which discusses how the airline sector has become proficient at tapping into new sources of funding including issuance backed by engines.

Banks have generally dominated engine-related financing through favorable financing rates for such assets. However, institutional investors have recently become interested in engines as an asset type given their long-term nature, fungibility, and replenishable value. As a result, an increasing number of carriers and lessors are looking to these assets as collateral for capital market funding.

KBRA notes that airlines and engine lessors have different borrowing requirements, with the type of engine-backed debt varying between issuers. Airlines favor issuing via enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETCs) and secured term loans, while engine lessors typically finance through asset-backed securities (ABS) backed by a large engine pool on lease to a diversified portfolio of airlines.

This comment provides a summary of certain unique characteristics of engines and gives clarity on the key risk factors that KBRA considers in rating EETCs, secured loans, and ABS for engines.
