AeroCentury’s strategic focus is on
specialized regional aircraft and engines used for regional
passenger traffic and special cargo and courier operations. The
Company competes aggressively in the aircraft leasing business. The
Company utilizes an $80 million revolving line of credit to purchase
aircraft assets. In addition, the Company has obtained up to $28
million in senior subordinated debt and has used special purpose
financing from a European bank. The Company’s business plan is to
expand its pool of leased aircraft to achieve capital growth while
maintaining a manageable level of investment risk. AeroCentury’s
management believes that, based on its market knowledge, experience
and industry relationships, the Company is well-positioned to
achieve its goals. The regional airline market continues to grow,
even in times of economic uncertainty. Regional carriers
traditionally fare well during recessionary periods because they
tend to be flexible, opportunistic and have more manageable cost
structures. The Company’s emphasis is primarily in regional markets
outside the United States.
