KBRA releases a brief report on aviation asset-backed security (ABS) exposure in its rated universe to SAS, which on July 5 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S.

The report notes that SAS is a lessee in five KBRA-rated ABS transactions, including two transactions primarily collateralized by aircraft leases, as well as three secured by aircraft engine leases. There is risk of potential cash flow interruptions in these transactions that could result from negotiations amid bankruptcy proceedings.
