Company Report

BOC Aviation to Benefit From Easing Interest Rates; Aircraft Delivery Delays Still a Drag

BOC Aviation’s role as an aircraft leasing firm is mainly to provide liquidity to global airlines, either through operating leases or financing arrangements, in their access to aircraft. Rather than lock up their capital in fixed assets, airlines increasingly opt to lease aircraft. Based on data from Ascend Analytics and BOC Aviation, the proportion of the global airline fleet on operating leases has risen to 52% in 2023 from 23% in 1990. We expect BOC Aviation’s market share to be stable, so its volume of leases should at least track global commercial fleet growth of about a 2.9% compound annual growth rate through 2033, based on Oliver Wyman data.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

BOC Aviation has demonstrated superior aircraft portfolio management skills in the past, and we expect it to keep its fleet both highly desired and fuel-efficient, allowing it to charge higher lease factor rates and consequently deliver higher margins than its international peers.

Bears

BOC Aviation struggles to keep the aircraft portfolio consisting of the most-wanted and fuel-efficient models. Hence, its premium on the lease factor rate tends to be driven to the minimum.
