Key risks (from latest filing)
["Exposure to interest rate and inflation fluctuations, which could impact lease profitability and financing costs","Dependency on commercial aviation demand and aircraft operator financial stability; economic downturns or airline bankruptcies could reduce lease demand and rental payments","Foreign exchange risk, as while leases are mostly denominated in US dollars, future leases may expose the company to currency volatility in international markets"]
