Contacts

KBRA affirms its ratings on 22 securities and upgrades its ratings on seven securities issued from 11 aviation ABS transactions serviced by Carlyle Aviation Management 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 Class A Notes and Class B Notes for AASET 2018-2, AASET 2019-1, and AASET 2021-1, and the Class A Notes for AASET 2018-3, reflect improved performance whereby the related securities have been deleveraging and/or been receiving full scheduled principal after falling behind in prior periods owing to, where applicable, performance degradation relating to exposure to Russian aircraft being deemed a total loss and/or performance issues in the wake of the pandemic. The data used for this review is as of the January 2025 payment date report.
