Morgan Stanley Aircraft Finance ("MSAF") reports that Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter & Co. and certain of its affiliates ("MSDW") have agreed today to

of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), to other institutional accredited
investors, as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under
the Securities Act and to investors outside the United States in reliance on

will use such proceeds to acquire the beneficial interests in the 28 aircraft
from MSDW.
