AERCO'S PORTFOLIO
APPRAISERS' REPORTS
AerCo Group recently obtained appraised values of the aircraft at April 30,
2000. The values provided by the appraisers represent the base value in respect
of 62 of the aircraft and the scrap value in respect of one aircraft, the
B747-200B currently on lease to Tower Air (which has filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection).
The base value is equal to the average of the opinions of the appraisers as
to the value of each aircraft at normal utilisation rates in an open,
unrestricted and stable market at April 30, 2000, adjusted to take account of
the reported maintenance standard of the aircraft. The appraisals were not based
on physical inspection of the aircraft and do not take into account the value of
the leases, maintenance reserves or security deposits. The scrap value is
determined by the appraisers based on the assumption that the aircraft will no
longer be utilised for flight operation and assumes that the aircraft will
ultimately be disassembled to a point where all economically viable assets,
including the engines, are sold individually.
On the basis of the three independent appraisals, the average base value
for 32, and scrap value for one, of the 33 existing aircraft was approximately
$817.8 million compared with an average base value for all 33 existing aircraft
of $849.5 million on February 18, 2000, the date of the last appraisals. The
reduction in value represents utilisation for the period and the revaluation of
the B747-200B from base value to scrap value. The aggregate base and scrap
values calculated by each of the three appraisers for the 33 existing aircraft
are $833.1 million in the case of BK Associates, Inc., $849.6 million in the
case of Aircraft Information Services, Inc. and $770.8 million in the case of
Airclaims Limited.
On the basis of the three independent appraisals, the average base value of
the 30 additional aircraft was approximately $724.1 million. The aggregate base
values calculated by each of the three appraisers for the 30 additional aircraft
are $725.5 million in the case of BK Associates, Inc., $754.8 million in the
case of Aircraft Information Services, Inc. and $691.9 million in the case of
Airclaims Limited.
You should not rely on the appraised value as a measure of the realizable
value of any aircraft.

(1) AerCo Group will not own the 30 additional aircraft until the aircraft
owning companies have been acquired, which will only happen after the
transfer conditions have been met. The acquisition of the additional
aircraft is expected to occur in a series of transactions on and following
the closing date with a significant number of aircraft being acquired
following the closing date. A portion of the proceeds from the offering of
the notes will be used to fund the aircraft purchase account. If AerFi
determines that it is unable to deliver an aircraft or a substitute
aircraft, then funds held in the aircraft purchase account allocable to
that aircraft will be distributed according to a certain priority of
payments. All remaining amounts in the aircraft purchase account on July
10, 2001 will be distributed on the next succeeding payment date in
accordance with the order of priorities referenced above.
(2) A.I.L.L. is an indirect 100% subsidiary of Lan Chile.
(3) Reno Air is a 100% subsidiary of American Airlines.
*Indicates an additional aircraft.
THE LEASES
GENERAL
All leases will be managed by AerFi under the servicing agreement.
The leases are all operating leases under which AerCo generally will retain
the benefit, and bear the risk, of the residual value of the aircraft at the end
of the lease. The lessees have agreed to lease the aircraft for a fixed term.
However, AerCo has granted purchase, extension or early termination options on
certain aircraft to the lessee or an affiliate of the lessee. Although the lease
documentation is fairly standardized in many respects, significant variations do
exist as a result of lessee negotiation.
LEASE PAYMENTS AND SECURITY
Each lease requires the lessee to pay periodic rentals during the lease
term. Certain of the leases require the lessee to pay periodic amounts as
maintenance reserves or to provide maintenance letters of credit or guarantees.
The lessees must make payments to the lessor without set-off or
counterclaim, and must gross-up payments under the lease where payments are
subject to certain withholding and other taxes. However, in certain cases, such
payments will be limited to the amount that would have been payable if the lease
had never been transferred from the AerFi Group to AerCo. The leases generally
contain indemnification of the lessor for certain taxation liabilities and
taxation of indemnity payments. Indemnification for taxation liabilities
typically includes value added and stamp duty taxes, but excludes income taxes
or their equivalent. The lessees must also pay default interest on any overdue
amounts.
The lessees are liable through various operational indemnities for
operating expenses accrued or payable during the term of the lease. These
expenses include maintenance, operating, overhaul, airport and navigation
13
<PAGE> 9
charges, certain taxes, licenses, consents and approvals, aircraft registration
and hull and liability insurance premiums. The lessees must remove liens on the
aircraft other than liens permitted under the leases.
Under 53 of the leases, the lessee has provided security for its
obligations. The lessee has provided cash security deposits in the case of 35
leases, or 56.16% of the leases by appraised value at April 30, 2000.
The lessee has provided letters of credit in the case of 28 leases
representing 43.49% of the leases by appraised value at April 30, 2000. The
lessee provided a combination of cash security deposits and letters of credit in
the case of eight leases or 12.77% of the leases by appraised value at April 30,
2000.
Under 15 of the leases, the lessor received general guarantees from third
parties for the lessee's payment obligations under the lease. In some cases, the
lessor also received guarantees of the lessee's performance obligations under
the lease. In the case of 12 of the leases, these guarantees were issued by the
lessee's shareholder or affiliate. In the case of the leases to Xiamen Airlines
and China Xinjiang, a guarantee for each lessee's payment obligations was issued
by the Bank of China. In each case, the guarantee was subject to a stipulated
maximum amount.
RENTALS
Rentals under 55 of the leases, 86.35% of the leases by appraised value at
April 30, 2000, are payable monthly in advance. Rentals under six of the leases,
8.99% of the leases by appraised value at April 30, 2000, are payable quarterly
or semi-annually in advance. Rentals under the remaining two leases are payable
monthly in arrears.
Rental payments on the leases are calculated either on a fixed or floating
rate basis. The rental payment of a lease that is calculated on a floating rate
basis generally has a rental floor that is payable even if LIBOR is 0% per annum
plus an amount which varies with LIBOR or varies itself. The rental floor varies
from lease to lease. Lessees increasingly wish to negotiate fixed rate leases.
The rentals under one lease, a B767-300ER aircraft, are determined on the
basis of a charge per flight hour for every hour that the aircraft is flown by
the lessee, Air Canada. There is no minimum monthly rental under this lease and
there can be no certainty that this aircraft will generate any lease revenue
during the course of the Air Canada lease which expires in November 2000. In
addition, the maximum monthly rental which Air Canada may be obliged to pay is
approximately two-thirds of the monthly rental received from the previous
lessee. This situation is generally reflective of the market at present for
B767-300ER aircraft.
OPERATION OF THE AIRCRAFT
The lessees must operate the aircraft in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations. Generally, the aircraft must remain in the possession of
the lessees, and the lessor must approve any subleases of the aircraft. In some
cases, the lessees may enter into charter or "wet lease" arrangements with the
aircraft, as long as the lessees do not relinquish possession or operational
control of the aircraft. A wet lease is a lease with crew and services provided
by the lessor. Under certain leases, the lessees may enter into subleases to
specified operators without the lessor's consent, if certain conditions are met.
The lessees may subject the engines and other equipment or components to
removal or replacement and to pooling arrangements with permitted entities
without the lessor's consent but subject to conditions and criteria in the
relevant lease. The lessees may deliver possession of the aircraft, engines and
other equipment or components to the manufacturer for testing or similar
purposes, or to a third party for service, maintenance, repair or other work
required or permitted under the lease.
MAINTENANCE AND MAINTENANCE RESERVES
The leases contain detailed provisions specifying maintenance standards and
aircraft redelivery conditions. Lessees must provide monthly maintenance
reserves under approximately half of the leases. Under the balance of the
leases, the lessee or the lessor may be required to make certain adjustment
payments to each other if the aircraft or specified items at redelivery do not
meet the standards. During the term of each
14
<PAGE> 10
lease, the lessee must ensure that the aircraft is maintained in accordance with
an agreed maintenance program designed to ensure that the aircraft meets
applicable airworthiness and other regulatory requirements. Generally, the
lessee performs the agreed maintenance program. If the lessee has paid
maintenance reserves, the payments are used to reimburse the lessee for
significant maintenance charges, including major airframe and engine overhauls.
If the leases do not provide for maintenance reserve payments, the lessor
must rely on the lessee's credit and its ability to perform scheduled
maintenance throughout the lease term, return the aircraft in the condition
required by the lease, or make any payments required upon termination of the
lease.
Because many of our aircraft are approximately the same age and have
similar usage patterns, a large portion of the portfolio came due for major
airframe and engine overhauls in the period from July 1998 to July 2000. This
trend is expected to reverse over the three year period from the closing date to
March 2003. However, due to the size and uncertainty of the incidence of
maintenance expenditures, the level of maintenance receipts, the timing of
overhauls and the level of maintenance already done by the lessee, completing
such maintenance overhauls could significantly impact the cashflows of AerCo in
any note payment period.
LESSEES' OPTIONS
Purchase options for four of the aircraft or 7.84% of the aircraft by
appraised value at April 30, 2000 have been granted to lessees under the lease
or a separate purchase option agreement.
All of the purchase options are currently exercisable. The duration of some
purchase options depends on whether the lessee exercises a separate option to
extend the lease. There is a risk that the option purchase prices may be less
than the proportional portion of the unpaid principal of the notes allocable to
the aircraft being purchased.
Twenty-one of the leases or 34.50% of the leases by appraised value at
April 30, 2000 include options for the lessee to extend the lease term. The rent
payable during the extension period varies from lease to lease. Two of the
leases or 3.56% of the leases by appraised value at April 30, 2000, contain
provisions allowing early termination of the lease.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL AND TECHNICAL REGULATION
In addition to general requirements regarding maintenance of aircraft,
aviation authorities issue airworthiness directives ("ADs") requiring the
operators of aircraft to take particular maintenance actions or make particular
modifications to a number of aircraft of designated types. ADs normally specify
a period in which to carry out the required action or modification and generally
enough time is allowed to permit the implementation of the AD in connection with
scheduled maintenance of the aircraft or engines. The lessees usually bear the
cost of compliance with ADs issued by applicable aviation authorities and,
relevant manufacturers' recommendations. AerCo Group may be required to
contribute a portion of such costs over a specified threshold. However, if a
lessee fails to perform ADs required on an aircraft, AerCo Group would bear the
cost of compliance necessary for the aircraft to maintain its certificate of
airworthiness. In such circumstances, funds in the collection account and lessee
funded account will be available to mitigate the costs of compliance, although
such use would reduce the availability of such amounts to cover the cost of
scheduled maintenance. There can be no assurance that such funds will be
available at the time needed or that any funds available will be sufficient for
such purposes.
Other governmental regulations may apply to the aircraft, including
requirements relating to noise and emissions levels. Such regulations may be
imposed not only by the jurisdictions in which the aircraft are registered, but
also in jurisdictions where the aircraft operate. Chapters 2 and 3 of the
Chicago Convention establish two progressively restrictive noise level standards
that correspond to the requirements for Stage 2 and Stage 3 aircraft. A number
of jurisdictions have adopted, or are in the process of adopting, noise
regulations which will require all aircraft to comply with the most restrictive
of these standards. Such regulations restrict the future operation of aircraft
that are not Stage 3 aircraft and are expected imminently to prohibit the
15
<PAGE> 11
operation of such aircraft in the relevant jurisdictions. In the United States
such a prohibition went into effect at the end of 1999. Since AerCo Group has
the ability to acquire Stage 2 aircraft, these regulations may affect AerCo
adversely. In addition, local municipalities may have more stringent noise
regulations than those applicable to Stage 3 aircraft.
Volume 2 of Annex 16 of the Chicago Convention also contains standards and
recommendations regarding limitations on vented fuel and smoke and gaseous
emissions for aircraft. While a number of countries have adopted regulations
implementing these recommendations, such regulations generally have been
prospective in nature, requiring only that newly manufactured engines meet
particular standards after a particular date. To the extent that these
regulations require modifications to the engines owned by AerCo Group, they
would be treated similarly to ADs under the leases.
Aviation authorities in Europe and North America have recently adopted
regulations requiring the installation of traffic collision avoidance systems,
automatic emergency locator transmitters and certain other systems. Depending on
whether the costs of complying with these regulations are borne by AerCo or the
lessees, installation of these systems could result in significant cash capital
expenditures by AerCo in 2000 and 2001.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has recently announced an AD that
requires operators of MD-11, MD-80 and DC-10 aircraft to replace certain
insulation blankets in order to reduce the risk of fire. Following completion of
this transaction, we will have eight MD-80 series aircraft representing 10.00%
of our portfolio by appraised value at April 30, 2000. It is currently not clear
whether or to what extent manufacturers, owners or lessees will be responsible
for the costs necessary to bring these aircraft in compliance with such new
standards. AerCo could incur significant costs in ensuring its eight MD-80
series aircraft comply with these standards, which could impact adversely on
AerCo's results of operations.
On February 11, 2000, following an accident involving an MD-83 aircraft,
the FAA issued an AD covering DC-9 (MD-83), MD-88, MD-90 and B717 aircraft. The
AD required inspection of the stabilization equipment on these aircraft types
within three days. Under the leases of the affected aircraft, all costs of
compliance with the AD are the obligation of the lessees. The servicer has
confirmed that it believes that all of our MD-80 series aircraft were inspected
in accordance with the instructions of this AD. The terms of our leases do not
require the lessees to report to us the actions they have taken to comply with
ADs.
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF THE AIRCRAFT
GENERAL
The lessees will bear responsibility through an operational indemnity to
carry insurance for any liabilities arising out of the operation of the
aircraft. The indemnity includes liabilities for death or injury to persons and
damage to property that ordinarily would attach to the operator of the aircraft.
In addition, the lessees are required to carry further liability insurance that
is customary in the air transportation industry. The servicer monitors the
lessee's compliance with the insurance provisions of the leases. AerCo also has
its own contingent liability coverage. This will cover a liability that is in
excess of the coverage provided by a lessee's policy and where a lessee's policy
lapses. AerCo's contingent third party liability insurance will cover all of the
aircraft, and its contingent hull and war risk insurance covers certain of the
aircraft. The amount of the contingent liability policies may not be the same as
required under the lease. The amount of third party contingent liability
insurance is subject to certain limitations imposed by the air transportation
insurance industry.
All insurance certificates contain a breach of warranty endorsement so that
an additional insured party remains protected even if the lessee violates any of
the terms, conditions or warranties of the insurance policies, provided that the
additional insured party has not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned
the breach.
LIABILITY INSURANCE
The lessees are required to have third party liability insurance for a
combined single limit in minimum amounts ranging between $350.0 million and
$850.0 million, depending on aircraft type, for each aircraft. In
16
<PAGE> 12
general, liability coverage on each aircraft includes third party legal
liability, property damage legal liability, passenger legal liability, baggage
legal liability, cargo legal liability, mail and aviation general third party
legal liability.
In some jurisdictions, liabilities for risks that the lessees insure may
attach to AerCo Group as owner of the aircraft regardless of whether AerCo Group
is in any way responsible for the loss for which liability is asserted. In
addition, claimants may assert claims against AerCo Group on the basis of
alleged responsibility for a loss, even if the claim is not sustained. Under the
leases, the lessees are obligated to indemnify the lessor against claims.
Covered claims include the costs of defending claims by third parties against
them for liabilities while the aircraft are owned by AerCo Group and under lease
to the lessees.
The indemnified losses include both operating costs relating to the actual
operation of the aircraft as well as losses to persons and property resulting
from the operation of the aircraft. The latter types of losses are generally
covered by the lessee's liability insurances.
AIRCRAFT PROPERTY INSURANCE
The lessees must carry other types of insurance that are customary in the
air transportation industry, including hull, war risk and spares insurance. The
value of the hull and war risk insurance is usually stipulated in the lease.
Spares insurance is usually on a replacement cost basis. Both types of insurance
are subject to customary deductibles. In addition to the stipulated loss value
coverage obtained by the lessees, AerCo Group purchases declining "total loss
only" coverage with respect to certain aircraft. As of June 30, 2000, the sum of
the stipulated loss value and the additional coverage for the aircraft in place
for hull and war risk insurance was at least 105% of the appraised value of each
aircraft. On average, the sum of such coverages in place for each aircraft was
approximately 140% of the appraised value of each aircraft. In many cases, the
lessor can increase the insured value above the stipulated loss value consistent
with industry practice with the lessee paying any increased premium. Permitted
deductibles range from $250,000 to $1,000,000; however, the deductible generally
applies only in the case of a partial loss. In the case of a total loss of an
aircraft no deductible would be applied against the insurance proceeds received.
The leases include provisions defining an event of loss or a casualty
occurrence so that where a total loss of the airframe occurs, with or without
loss of the engines installed on the airframe, the agreed value is payable by
the lessee. This payment is generally funded by insurance proceeds. However, the
air transportation insurance industry practice is to treat only a loss of
greater than 75% of the value of the aircraft, including the engines, as a total
loss. If insurance proceeds following a total loss exceed the amount due from
the lessee then most leases require the lessor to pay to the lessee the balance
of the insurance proceeds received under the hull or war risk policy after
deduction of all amounts payable by the lessee to the lessor under the lease.
POLITICAL RISK REPOSSESSION INSURANCE
Under certain leases, the lessor may arrange separate political risk
repossession insurance for its own benefit, covering confiscation,
nationalization and requisition of title of any aircraft by the government of
the country of registry and denegation and deprivation of legal title and
rights. The political risk repossession insurance also covers the failure of the
authorities in that country to allow de-registration and export of the aircraft,
subject to the conditions of the policies.
THE LESSEES
As of May 31, 2000, our aircraft, together with the aircraft we expect to
acquire, were leased to 38 lessees in 21 countries throughout the world.
REGIONAL CONCENTRATIONS
ASIA CONCENTRATION. At May 31, 2000, 17.58% of the aircraft by appraised
value at April 30, 2000 were leased by operators in "emerging" markets in the
Asia Pacific region, including China, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan and
India. One lessee, Asiana, leased 4.67% of the aircraft by appraised value at
April 30, 2000.
17
<PAGE> 13
Trading conditions in Asia's civil aviation industry have been adversely
affected by the severe economic and financial difficulties experienced recently
in the region. The economies of the region have experienced acute difficulties
resulting in many business failures, significant depreciation of local
currencies against the dollar, downgrading of sovereign and corporate credit
ratings and internationally organized financial stability measures. One Asian
lessee, PAL, which leases 2.61% of the aircraft by appraised value at April 30,
2000 has been adversely affected by the Asian economic crisis such that it
sought bankruptcy protection in 1998. As part of its rehabilitation plan,
certain of PAL's outstanding lease obligations were rescheduled in 1999. Several
other airlines in the region rescheduled their aircraft purchase obligations,
eliminated certain routes and reduced the number of employees. A continuation of
this downturn in the region's economies may further undermine business
confidence, reduce demand for air travel and adversely affect the Asian lessees'
operations and their ability to meet their obligations.
LATIN AMERICAN CONCENTRATION. At May 31, 2000, 10.40% of the aircraft by
appraised value at April 30, 2000 were leased by operators in "emerging markets"
in Latin America, principally Brazil, Chile and Colombia. The financial
prospects for lessees in Latin America depends on the level of political
stability and economic activity and policies in the region. Developments in
other "emerging markets" may also affect the economies of Latin American
countries and the entire region.
Most significantly, in 1999 Brazil experienced significant downturns in its
economy and financial markets, with large decreases in financial asset prices
and dramatic decreases in the value of its currency. One of the lessees, TAM,
representing 4.21% of the aircraft by appraised value at April 30, 2000,
operates five of the aircraft in Brazil. Continued weakness in the value of the
Brazilian real, as well as any further general deterioration in the Brazilian
economy, means that this lessee may be unable to generate sufficient revenues in
Brazilian currency to pay the dollar denominated rental payments under the
leases. More importantly, financial and economic problems in Brazil could spread
throughout Latin America and other "emerging" economies, having a similar effect
on many of our other lessees.
EUROPEAN CONCENTRATION. At May 31, 2000, 53.73% of the aircraft by
appraised value at April 30, 2000 were leased by operators based in Europe.
Lessees of 42.80% of the aircraft are based in "developed" European markets,
principally the United Kingdom and Spain. Lessees of the remaining 10.93% of the
aircraft were based in "emerging" European markets, principally Turkey. One
lessee, Spanair, leased 7.27% of the aircraft by appraised value at April 30,
2000. As of May 31, 2000, 16.73% of the aircraft by appraised value at April 30,
2000 were leased to charter operators in the tourism industry, principally in
the United Kingdom.
The commercial aviation industry in Europe is very sensitive to general
economic conditions. Since air travel is largely discretionary, the industry
tends to suffer severe financial difficulties during slow economic periods. As a
result, the financial prospects for European lessees will depend on the level of
economic activity in Europe and in the specific countries where they operate. A
recession or other worsening of economic conditions in any European country may
adversely affect the European lessees' ability to meet their financial and other
obligations. Most European currencies in which European airlines primarily
receive their revenues have fallen in value in the last number of months when
measured against the United States dollar adversely affecting the ability of
those airlines to meet dollar denominated lease rental and other operating
costs. Competitive pressures from continuing deregulation of the airline
industry by the EU may also adversely affect European lessees' operations and
their ability to meet their obligations under the leases.
At May 31, 2000, 7.74% of the aircraft by appraised value at April 30, 2000
were on lease to Turkish lessees. Turkey was hit by a series of severe
earthquakes in 1999 and damage caused by the earthquakes and the consequent fall
off in tourist traffic has adversely affected the ability of these airlines to
operate and meet their financial obligations under the leases. In addition, the
fall in value of the Deutsche Mark, the principal currency in which Turkish
airlines receive their revenues (when measured against the United States dollar)
may affect these airlines' ability to pay dollar denominated costs including
lease rentals.
NORTH AMERICAN CONCENTRATION. At May 31, 2000, 18.29% of the aircraft by
appraised value at April 30, 2000 were leased by operators in North America. As
in Europe, the commercial aviation industry in North America is highly sensitive
to general economic conditions. Since air travel is largely discretionary, the
industry has suffered severe financial difficulties during economic downturns.
Over the last several years,
18
<PAGE> 14
nearly half of the major North American passenger airlines have filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and several major U.S. airlines have ceased
operations.
Tower Air, the lessee of one Boeing 747-200B aircraft, which represents
0.55% of the aircraft by appraised value at April 30, 2000 has filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection. It is currently unclear as to whether the lessee will
seek to retain the aircraft in its fleet. In the event that this aircraft is
returned to AerCo, AerCo is not confident that it has any immediate placement
opportunities for this aircraft. The opportunities for lease or sale of this
aircraft type are currently extremely limited. If the aircraft is returned, the
technical costs required to ensure that it is in a suitable condition for
releasing will be significant. Accordingly, AerCo is examining all possibilities
in respect of this aircraft, including a worst case scenario which would involve
realising the scrap value. As a consequence, this aircraft has been appraised by
reference to its scrap value only.
PAYMENT HISTORY
Weakly capitalized airlines are more likely than well capitalized airlines
to seek operating leases. Therefore, many of the lessees are in a relatively
weak financial position and several of them have faced and continue to face
severe economic difficulties.
As of June 30, 2000, amounts outstanding for more than 30 days for rental
payments, maintenance reserves and other amounts due under the leases equalled
$5.0 million for four lessees who had a total of six aircraft on lease. The
outstanding amounts are net of agreed deferrals or other restructurings, default
interest and cash in transit.
As of June 30, 2000, a Colombian lessee representing 2.48% of the portfolio
by appraised value at April 30, 2000 owed $0.8 million in maintenance payments.
The servicer has reached agreement with the lessee regarding payment of its
arrearages.
As of June 30, 2000, Tower Air, a North American lessee representing 0.55%
of the portfolio by appraised value at April 30, 2000, owed $4.3 million, $3.9
million of which was in arrears for more than 30 days. Tower Air has filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
PAL, the lessee of two B737-300 aircraft representing 2.61% of the
portfolio by appraised value at April 30, 2000, has been adversely affected by
the Asian economic crisis such that in 1998 it sought bankruptcy protection. As
part of PAL's rehabilitation plan, the servicer has agreed with PAL to a
schedule covering the payment of arrearages over the period to December 31, 2003
and the extension of leases. At June 30, 2000, these arrearages amounted to $2.3
million. All amounts have been paid in accordance with the scheduled terms as of
June 30, 2000.
AerCo expects to respond to the needs of lessees in financial difficulty
including restructuring the applicable leases or agreeing to rent deferrals. The
restructurings will typically involve the rescheduling of rental payments for a
specified period. In addition, certain restructurings may involve the voluntary
early termination of a lease, the replacement of aircraft with less expensive
aircraft and the arrangement of sub-leases from the lessee to another aircraft
operator. In certain cases, it may be necessary to repossess aircraft from
defaulting lessees and re-lease the aircraft to other lessees. The early
termination of leases may lead AerCo to incur swap breakage costs under its
agreements with swap providers which could be substantial.
Certain lessees have experienced periodic difficulties in meeting their
maintenance obligations under the leases. Such difficulties are caused by the
failure of the lessee to have in place a well established maintenance program,
adverse climate and other environmental conditions in the locations where the
aircraft are operated or financial and labor difficulties experienced by the
relevant lessee.

DOWNTIME
There can be no assurance that AerCo's prior experience and AerFi's
experience will be indicative of AerCo Group's ability to keep the aircraft and
any additional aircraft on-lease in the future. AerCo Group may be unable to
re-lease aircraft upon the expiration of leases as a result of a deterioration
in industry conditions, decreased demand for specific types of aircraft or other
factors.
The table below shows the number and type of aircraft that we must re-lease
through December 31, 2004. The table assumes that no lease will terminate early
and that there are no sales of aircraft or purchases of additional aircraft. The
expiry date of the leases on two of the aircraft referred to in the table below
(one scheduled to expire in 2000 and one in 2001) is determined by reference to
the timing of certain maintenance events on these aircraft. More aircraft may
need to be re-leased if aircraft become available through early lease
terminations or if new leases or re-leases are for relatively short terms.
