     This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D initially filed on October 12, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Babcock & Brown JET-i Co., Ltd, for and on behalf of itself, Babcock & Brown Investment Holdings Pty Ltd, Babcock & Brown International Pty Ltd and Babcock & Brown Limited (Administrators Appointed), and amended and restated by Amendment No. 1 filed on January 15, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Babcock & Brown JET-i Co., Ltd, for and on behalf of itself, Babcock & Brown Investment Holdings Pty Ltd, Babcock & Brown International Pty Ltd, Babcock & Brown Limited (Administrators Appointed), Babcock & Brown Australia Group Pty Ltd, Babcock & Brown Australia Pty Ltd, Babcock & Brown Transaction Holdings Pty Ltd, Babcock & Brown Transactions Pty Ltd and AGSO Property Pty Ltd (as amended and restated, the “Prior Filing”), which Schedule 13D relates to the American Depositary Shares, each representing one common share, par value $0.001 per share, of Babcock & Brown Air Limited, a Bermuda corporation.
     Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without being defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Prior Filing.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
     Item 4 of the Prior Filing is amended by deleting the third paragraph thereof and substituting in its place the following:
(a)-(j) Babcock & Brown Limited (Administrators Appointed) was placed into voluntary administration on March 13, 2009. BBIPL, the primary operating and asset owning entity of the Babcock & Brown group, will continue to operate and will proceed with the orderly realization of assets over an approximate 2-3 year time horizon to reduce its debt. As part of this process, BBIPL is engaged in an effort to sell all or substantially all of its aircraft management business to a third party buyer, which sale is expected to include all or a portion of the Reporting Persons’ interest in the ADSs of B&B Air. Depending on the outcome of this sale process and such other factors as the Reporting Persons may deem relevant, including, but not limited to, the Reporting Persons’ review and evaluation of the business and prospects of B&B Air, the price level of the ADSs of B&B Air, general market and economic conditions, tax and accounting considerations and/or business, investment or sale opportunities available to the Reporting Persons’, the Reporting Persons may (a) sell all or any part of the ADSs of B&B Air in a privately negotiated transaction as part of the foregoing sale process or separately, (b) sell all or any part of the ADSs of B&B Air held by them pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or otherwise, (c) enter into derivative or similar transactions with respect to the ADSs of B&B Air held by them or (d) engage in any combination of the foregoing. Any resulting potential sale or any of the other potential transactions described above may be announced or consummated at any time, without additional prior notice and prior to any further amendment to this Statement.
Other than as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 Schedule 13D; provided that the Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or reconsider their position with respect to B&B Air and reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     Item 5 of the Prior Filing is amended by deleting the first paragraph and substituting in its place the following:
(a) The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows (11) through (13) of the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference. Each of B&B JET-i and BBIHPL is the beneficial owner of 4,422,529 ADSs owned by B&B JET-i. Such ADSs represent approximately 13.6% of B&B Air’s outstanding ADSs. Each of AGSO, B&B Transactions, B&B Transaction Holdings, B&B Australia and B&B Australia Group is the beneficial owner of 345,050 ADSs owned by

 


Table of Contents

AGSO. Such ADSs represent approximately 1.1% of B&B Air’s outstanding ADSs. Each of BBIPL and Babcock & Brown Limited (Administrators Appointed) is the beneficial owner of 4,767,579 ADSs, of which 4,422,529 ADSs are owned by B&B JET-i and 345,050 ADSs are owned by AGSO. Such ADSs represent approximately 14.8% of B&B Air’s outstanding ADSs. All percentages are based on the number of ADSs outstanding as contained in B&B Air’s most recently available filing with the SEC.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
     Item 6 of the Prior Filing is amended to incorporate by reference therein the information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment.
