The aircraft ABS market saw an incredible revival at the end of 2021, but how healthy are these structures really? Senior notes fared well in the second-largest year for ABS issuances on record, but C notes and tradeable e-notes have seen limited or no take-up. What implications does this have for aircraft ABS investors going forwards?

  • How has the performance of pre-covid ABS issuances impacted how new deals are being structured?  
  • Is there still distress in the C tranches? What implications does this have for aircraft ABS investors?  
  • How will new deals need to be structured to entice potential e-note buyers back to the market? Will this happen in 2022? 
  • Will there be a substantial change in how sponsors compose new ABS portfolios this year?
