Provides long-term certainty and stability

1Over the 17-year term of the CPA (January 2019 to December 2035), the revenue estimates are based on agreed aircraft lease rates in the CPA

and certain assumptions and estimates for future market lease rates related to new and extended leases under the CPA. A foreign exchange rate

• f 1.2600 (based on the long-term historical average rate) was used in the calculation of the estimates.

Regional aircraft leasing/dry leasing is an attr ttracti tive bus usines ness with th str trong g gr growth th po potenti tial

• 50% of global passengers fly on trips shorter than 500 miles
• Regional aircraft allow airlines to optimize aircraft size

and reduce per-seat-cost

• 70-130 seat fleet expected to grow at ~3.7% per year over

the next 20 years1

• Penetration rate of operating leases is still relatively low

for regional aircraft (~25%) compared to narrow-body jets (~49%)

22

Chorus Aviation Overview

• Economic growth in emerging markets is expected to significantly
• utpace growth in advanced economies
• Fast growth of the urban middle class in emerging markets

will create opportunities for regional air travel

• Stable technology of regional aircraft reduces volatility in residual

value compared to narrow-body aircraft

• Steady historical deliveries

How we mitigate risk

• Air Canada manages all commercial aspects and assumes all associated risks
• Air Canada pays for all fuel – CHR does not see a fuel bill
• Jazz operates ~78% of Air Canada’s regional capacity
• Jazz operates over 650 daily flights – complex and cost prohibitive to replace
• Minimum of $2.5B in contracted revenue until the end of 20351
• Fix fee revenue tied to minimum aircraft fleet irrespective of hours flown
• Margin risk on controllable costs reduced to a maximum of $2M/year
• Cliff termination: operations cease at midnight December 31, 2035
• Worldwide reputation for excellence in safety, operational integrity and customer service
• Robust, thorough transaction approval process to evaluate prospective customer
• Aircraft leasing expertise on the boards of CAC and CHR
• Diversity in customer, aircraft type and geographic location
• Target strongest airline in each jurisdiction – preferably in locations that honour Cape

Town Convention

• Conduct regular on-site checks of aircraft condition and operations
• Collection of reserves, security deposits and maintaining high debt service cover ratio
• Target long-term leases, providing more return from the lease itself compared to aircraft

residual value

• Maintain industry standards of leverage
• In-house ability to re-possess aircraft or to re-lease, operate, modify, refurbish, sell,

disassemble/part out for parts provisioning when lease terms expire

• Regional aircraft values exhibit less volatility than narrow and wide body aircraft in market

cycles

CPA/Wet Leasing Dry Leasing

1 This estimate is based on agreed lease rates in the CPA and certain assumptions and estimates for future market lease rates related to new and extended leases

under the CPA as at January 1, 2019. A foreign rate of $1.26 (based on the long-term average historical rate) was used in the calculation of this estimate. See cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information on slide 2

SLIDE 42

Opportunities for incremental revenue at end of leases under the CPA

• Current lease commitments beyond 2025 leave substantial room for

additional lease extensions/renewals on current and possibly new aircraft to Air Canada in amended CPA

• Lease expiry of each aircraft is concurrent with full debt repayment; no

exposure for Chorus on debt

• 19 Dash 8-400 aircraft have lease terms expiring from end of 2025 to

end of 2028

• Put and call rights to Air Canada in 2025 no longer applicable due to CPA extension

to 2035

aircraft will gradually be completed by December 31, 2022 and will earn lease revenue under the amended CPA.

3 Owned Chorus aircraft that have their lease expire under the amended CPA. These aircraft have the potential for re-lease with Air Canada or other third

Minimum CPA fleet commitment provides predictability

• Enhanced relevance to Air Canada

with CRJ200 regional AC Express capacity reallocated to Jazz

• Further fleet modernization and

transition to larger gauge equipment with the Dash 8-100s exiting the fleet earlier

• All owned Dash 8-300 aircraft

maintained as covered fleet until 2025

• Minimum fleet of 105 determines

fixed fee revenue floor; set at $75.3 million in each of 2019 and 2020, given substantial fleet transitions and averages $61.6 million from 2021

• 2025
• Minimum covered fleet of 80 aircraft

in the 75-78 seat range provides minimum revenue floor of $399 million over extended term from 2026-35
