Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic | Note 12. Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic ​ On January 30, 2020, the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization (the “WHO”). On March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world have implemented numerous measures to try to contain the virus, including travel restrictions. Although some of these measures have been lifted or scaled back, a recent resurgence of COVID-19 in certain parts of the world, including the United States and parts of Europe, has resulted in the re-imposition of certain restrictions and may lead to more restrictions to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures, coupled with a decrease in consumer spending on travel as a result of COVID-19, have materially impacted airline traffic and operations throughout the world, including the Company’s airline customers. It is unclear how long and to what extent these measures will remain in place and they may remain in place in some form for an extended period of time. Aircraft manufacturers and suppliers also have been impacted, including causing the temporary closure of Boeing and Airbus’ final assembly facilities and also closures of various facilities across their supply chain. In the second quarter of 2020, Boeing and Airbus resumed production at these facilities, but with reduced output. ​ As the virus spread globally, its impact on the global economy increased significantly, resulting in a rapid decline in global air travel. While domestic and regional airline traffic improved over the last several months, demand for international and business air travel remains challenged. Since the pandemic began in the first quarter of 2020, the Company has received requests from most of its customers for accommodations such as deferrals of lease payments or other lease concessions. On a case-by-case basis, the Company has agreed to accommodations with approximately 58% of its lessees. Generally, these accommodations have been in the form of partial lease deferrals for payments due during the first three quarters of 2020, typically with a short repayment period. The majority of these deferrals are to be repaid within 12 months from the date the deferrals were granted, and in many cases, include lease extensions. The Company remains in active discussions with its airline customers and may continue to provide accommodations on a case-by-case basis. ​ While lease deferrals may delay the Company’s receipt of cash, the Company generally recognizes the lease revenue during the period even if a deferral is provided to the lessee, unless it determines collection is not reasonably assured. The Company monitors all lessees with past due lease payments and discusses relevant operational and financial issues facing those lessees in order to determine an appropriate course of action. In addition, if collection is not reasonably assured, the Company will not recognize rental income for amounts due under the Company’s lease contracts and will recognize revenue for such lessees on a cash basis. For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not recognize rental revenue of $25.3 million because collection was not reasonably assured for certain lessees. Aircraft on lease with these lessees represented approximately 6.6% of our fleet by net book value. ​ Given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on its business, results of operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future. ​
