What would this require in arithmetical terms? Global passenger fleet at end of 2022 (excluding RJs) is predicted to be ~25,500 aircraft Leasing fleet in service would need to be ~12,750 aircraft Equivalent leasing fleet today is 7,220 aircraft So net addition of 5,530 aircraft required over next seven years Flightglobal Fleet Forecast predicts delivery of 11,500 commercial passenger jets through 2022 ~40% of the operating lease fleet from seven years ago has been replaced; on today’s fleet this equates to 3,100 aircraft that could be expected to exit the leased fleet in the next seven years So to achieve 50% fleet market share by 2022, under this scenario lessors would need to add 8,450 new aircraft (5,530 growth plus 3,100 replacement) to their portfolios over the next seven years – that’s equivalent to 75% of new deliveries predicted over that period (and worth US$643 billion in 2015EC) Even to maintain today’s 42% market share under this scenario would require ~6,600 new deliveries – 57% of all new deliveries (US$490 billion) Source: Flightglobal Fleets Analyzer / Fleet Forecast (passenger aircraft only, excludes RJs) 9

Operating leasing growth trend summary The current share of the commercial passenger airline fleet managed by operating lessors is around 42% The linear growth trend seen through 2008 has stagnated in recent years If that growth trend were to have continued, then 50% share would have been achieved last year ~75% of deliveries will have to be acquired by lessors over the next seven years if 50% share is to be achieved by 2022 To maintain a 42% market share lessors will have to acquire an estimated 57% of new deliveries over that same period 15
