Fitch Affirms Triton Aviation Finance; Withdraws Ratings

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fitch Ratings has affirmed and withdrawn Triton Aviation Finance as follows:

--Class A-1 at 'Csf', RE 15%;

--Class B-1 at 'Csf', RE 0%;

--Class B-2 at 'Csf', RE 0%;

--Class C-1 at 'Csf', RE 0%;

--Class C-2 at 'Csf', RE 0%.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmation of the notes at 'Csf' reflects Fitch's view that default is considered inevitable. The pool of aircraft consists predominately of aged, lower tier aircraft, which Fitch believes will be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to repay the notes in full as leasing potential is minimal and the size of the trust's remaining debt obligations far exceeds the value of the collateral. Fitch estimates senior note principal recoveries to be 15% of the current A-1 balance. The recovery estimates for classes B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2, and D are 0% as the subordinate notes have material interest shortfalls and no principal is expected to be paid as collections will be applied to senior principal only.

Fitch is withdrawing the ratings of Triton Aviation Finance as they are no longer considered to be relevant to the agency's coverage.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Not applicable as the ratings have been withdrawn.
