Boeing sees aircraft funding market remaining strong

LONDON (Reuters) - Boeing Co forecast continued strong demand for aircraft funding, with commercial jet buyers using capital markets to fund a third of the $124 billion of the sales expected in 2015, the company said on Tuesday.

"The strength we're seeing in aircraft finance is largely the result of a healthy and balanced global demand for new aircraft," Boeing Capital Corporation's vice president for aircraft financial services, Tim Myers, said.

Capital markets are a growing source of funding for aircraft deliveries, up from just 3 percent in 2009.

Money from government-backed export credit agencies (ECA), once used to pay for the bulk of airliner deals, but it is expected to continue at historically low levels, Boeing said.
