Lease rate factors and placement terms have benefited from acute supply constraints: Airbus backlogs are elevated and regulatory oversight has constrained Boeing’s output growth; widespread Pratt & Whitney GTF inspections and groundings have kept narrowbody capacity tight.

Air Lease’s 2025 commentary noted increased portfolio lease yield, and Q2 2026 materials cite robust demand and trading. While we expect spreads to remain favorable through at least 2027, normalization of OEM output and engine shop turnaround times could compress pricing thereafter.

Overall, current cycle conditions support above‑average pricing power but we moderate the score due to medium‑term mean reversion risk.
