KBRA Upgrades Regional 2021-1 Rating to A
London, 17 April 2025
Falko is pleased to announce that Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC (KBRA) has upgraded the rating of the Series A Loans issued from Regional 2021-1 from A- to A.
Regional 2021-1, Falko’s inaugural aviation ABS, closed in April 2021 issuing $255m of Series A Loans secured exclusively by a portfolio of regional aircraft. As of the March 2025 payment date, the portfolio comprised 38 assets: 25 regional jet aircraft and 13 turboprop aircraft, on lease to 10 lessees in 10 countries, and with no off-lease aircraft. The upgrade of the Series A Loans reflects the continued deleveraging and stable performance of the transaction since closing.
“We are pleased to see this rating upgrade, which we believe is a direct reflection of our asset selection, strong customer relationships, and prudent risk management. This recognition affirms the resilience of our platform and is a testament to our asset management capabilities,” Matt Kensit, Falko’s Head of Asset Finance commented.
