KBRA Affirms Three Ratings and Upgrades Three Ratings on Two Avolon Serviced Aviation ABS Transactions

9 Apr 2025   |   New York

Contacts

KBRA upgrades its rating on three securities and affirms its ratings on three securities issued from two aviation ABS transactions serviced by Avolon Aerospace Leasing Limited. KBRA’s analysis indicated that existing credit enhancement for the securities is sufficient to support the affirmed and upgraded ratings. The upgraded ratings of the Series A Notes, Series B Notes, and Series C Notes for Sapphire 2018-1 reflect improved performance and deleveraging after falling behind in prior periods owing to performance degradation relating to performance issues in the wake of the pandemic. The data used for this review is as of the March 2025 payment date report.
