Secured Debt Financings
Secured Term Financings
On May 12, 2025, we repaid in full the $391.6 million outstanding principal amount of one of our term financings secured by 17 aircraft, and $5.5 million of accrued interest. The secured term financing had a final stated maturity date of November 21, 2029. We recognized a $3.0 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized financing costs.
Unsecured Debt Financings
Unsecured Term Loan
On April 28, 2025, Aircastle Advisor, LLC (“AALLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement with the lender parties thereto (the “Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement”) providing for a $600.0 million unsecured term loan (the “Unsecured Term Loan”). The Unsecured Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate under the Term Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) (as defined in the Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement) plus 1.40% per annum and matures on April 28, 2030. Prior to April 28, 2026, the total credit commitment under the
Unsecured Term Loan can be increased up to a maximum amount of $700.0 million. The Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement contains, among other customary provisions, a $1.1 billion minimum net worth covenant, a 2.0:1.0 minimum interest coverage ratio covenant, and a 1.25:1.0 minimum unencumbered asset ratio. The Company and Aircastle (Ireland) Designated Activity Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee AALLC’s obligations under the Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement.
Revolving Credit Facilities
As of May 31, 2025, we had $20.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facilities and had $2.1 billion available for borrowing.
As of May 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants in our financings.
AALLC Guarantees
In connection with AALLC entering into the Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement, AALLC agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee (the “AALLC Guarantees”) the Company’s obligations under its: (i) revolving credit facilities; (ii) 5.250% Senior Notes due 2025; (iii) 4.250% Senior Notes due 2026; (iv) 2.850% Senior Notes due 2028; (v) 6.500% Senior Notes due 2028; (vi) 5.950% Senior Notes due 2029; (vii) 5.25% Senior Notes due 2030, and (viii) 5.75% Senior Notes due 2031 (collectively, the “Existing Unsecured Debt”). As a result of the AALLC Guarantees, the Unsecured Term Loan ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Existing Unsecured Debt.
