RBS Aviation Capital CEO, Peter Barrett, commented that the company "always buy when we think there is demand and sell when we see no demand from investors" (Reuters, 21-Jul-2010). He added: "It reflects the underlying long-term trend that there is demand for leased airplanes, particularly for the narrowbody workhorses of the industry."
