CHICAGO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Fitch Ratings affirms Shenton Aircraft Investment I Ltd. (SAIL) as follows:

—Series A at ‘Asf’, Outlook Stable;

—Series B at ‘BBBsf’, Outlook Stable.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmation of the notes reflects the transaction’s consistent performance to date which has been within Fitch’s initial expectations. The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch’s expectation that cash flow from the portfolio of aircraft will continue to be adequate to withstand stresses commensurate with the current ratings. Initial key rating drivers and the rating sensitivities are further described in Fitch’s New Issue Report for this transaction dated Sept. 18, 2015.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Due to the correlation between the global economic conditions and the airline industry, the ratings may be impacted by the strength of the macro-environment over the remaining term of this transaction. Global economic conditions that are inconsistent with Fitch’s expectations and stress parameters could lead to negative rating actions. Fitch, in the initial rating analysis, found the transaction to have minimal sensitivity to the lower lease rate factors, severity of assumed recessions, and reduced maintenance collections.
