Prior to September '06 investors could gain exposure to the aircraft leasing industry only via private equity or conglomerates like GE, AIG, and GATX,where aircraft leasing is a relatively small component.According to Citigroup,historically aircraft lessors have earned higher and more stable returns than airlines. On May 11 private-equity group Terra Firma Capital Partners Ltd acquired Pegasus Aviation in a deal that will create the world's third largest aircraft lessor.After the successful debut of Aircastle and Genesis you might see Terra cashing out sooner rather than later.Aircraft orders and lease rate almost halved by 2003 compared to the 1997-2000 peak period but have since recovered.Most forecasters believe that the underlying demand for air travel will continue to grow at a rate of 5-6%, 1.4x to 2.0x real global GDP.
