Pursuant to long-term agreements, GE Commercial Aviation Services (GECAS) will provide us with most services related to leasing our fleet, including marketing aircraft for lease and re-lease, collecting rents and other payments from the lessees of our aircraft, monitoring maintenance, insurance and other obligations under our leases and enforcing rights against lessees. Our arrangements with GECAS will enable our management team to focus primarily on pursuing acquisitions of additional aircraft and other aviation assets. Our founding management has substantial expertise in the acquisition, leasing, financing, technical management and sale of aircraft.

GECAS is an affiliate of GE, and is one of the world’s leading servicers of commercial aircraft. GECAS currently manages a portfolio that includes more than 1,400 owned aircraft plus more than 250 aircraft serviced for other owners. It has more than 220 passenger and cargo airline customers in over 70 countries and more than 80 employees dedicated to the marketing and technical management of leased aircraft. We will have a global reach through GECAS’s 23 worldwide offices and will benefit from GECAS’s extensive industry knowledge and contacts to manage our portfolio and to source aircraft acquisitions. We believe GECAS’s broad industry expertise as the owner and servicer of one of the world’s largest portfolios of commercial aircraft, as well as its involvement in the market for aircraft acquisitions and dispositions, will enhance our ability to manage our portfolio effectively, to acquire and lease additional aircraft and to remarket our aircraft when leases expire.
