KBRA Releases Research – Aviation ABS: Gaining Altitude

KBRA releases research on the aviation sector's post-pandemic recovery and potential trajectory. Aviation was among the hardest hit industries during the pandemic, with global travel coming to a standstill in 2020. As a result, aviation asset-backed securities (ABS) faced considerable strain, enduring some of the most severe credit challenges across all of structured finance. Despite these headwinds, the industry has made a strong recovery since 2022, with utilization and lease rates rebounding toward pre-pandemic levels.

In light of this rebound and the time elapsed since the pandemic’s peak, KBRA examined key aviation ABS metrics, including the weighted average utilization rate, weighted average debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), and weighted average implied lease rate for the outstanding aviation ABS universe each month.
