Average Age @ Retirement HISTORIC COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORT FLEET DYNAMICS Retirement ages for narrowbody and widebody jets have compressed in recent years, but are still near 25 years Retirement Age Trends, 1997-217 35 3 25 2 15 1 Narrowbody Jet 5 Widebody Jet 1997 22 27 212 217 Note: Trailing three year average Source: CAPA, Alton analysis Alton Insight Narrowbody retirement ages have compressed from a peak at the top of the prior cycle Boeing 787 entry-into-service delays kept older widebody aircraft in the fleet through the downturn Despite headline news reports, retirement ages for narrowbody aircraft is close to 25 years today 9
Total Aircraft % of Fleet HISTORIC COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORT FLEET DYNAMICS Fleet retirements have now declined from previous peak levels 3,5 3, 2,5 2, 1,5 1, 5 1992-1997 Aircraft Retirements Aircraft Retired % Fleet $66B Avg. 144 1997-22 Avg. 294 22-27 Avg. 61 27-212 Avg. 464 212-217 3.% 2.5% 2.% 1.5% 1.%.5%.% Alton Insight Peak retirements in 27-212 were driven by (i) a soft demand environment, (ii) high fuel prices, and (iii) marginalized 5-seat regional jets The surge in aircraft retirements spawned advancements in the teardown/part-out industry Low fuel prices and a strong traffic growth environment have driven the recent slowdown in retirements rates The end-of-life market is highly competitive today Source: CAPA, Alton analysis 1
Aircraft Retried Engines Retired HISTORIC COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORT FLEET DYNAMICS Over the course of the last decade, more than 5, aircraft and 12, engines have left the in-service fleet Aircraft Retirements, 28-217 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Top 1 Airfames 747-4 757 A3/A31 DC9 747-1/2/3 737 Original A32 MD8 727 737 Classic Engine Retirements, 28-217 14, 12, 1, 8, 6, 4, 2, Top 1 Engines CFM56-5A CF6-5C2 RB211-524 PW4-94 PW1 CF6-8C2 JT9D JT8D-2 CFM56-3 JT8D Most retirements have been what are now considered prior generation aircraft & engines.

Fleet Size FUTURE COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORT FLEET OUTLOOK Aftermarket demand will still be driven by current generation equipment for many years to come, despite the retirements A32 Family Fleet Forecast, 218-227 14, A32neo A32ceo 12, 1, 8, 6, 4, 2, Alton Insight The A32neo fleet will grow quickly, reaching A32ceo parity in 226 The in-service fleet of A32ceo aircraft is expected to remain above today s levels through 223 In 227, the A32ceo fleet will be 19% smaller than today s levels Significant opportunity will remain for years to come, for those participating in the current generation aftermarket Source: Alton fleet forecast 2
SUMMARY Overall, the state of the aviation industry is strong: Airlines profitable Manufacturers raising production rates Aftermarket demand volumes up The industry remains susceptible to exogenous events Demographics will drive increased retirements in the coming decade most will be today s current generation equipment Despite these retirements, aftermarket demand will still be driven by today s current generation equipment for years to come 21
