DUBLIN, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The head of aircraft leasing giant SMBC Aviation Capital criticised planemakers on Monday for over-promising and under-delivering on production, which he said suggests plane shortages would persist longer than manufacturers probably anticipate.

SMBC CEO Peter Barrett added that the fallout from the Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines incident is "certainly" going to make it a challenge for Boeing to manage production rates.

"The manufacturers generally have, I would say across the piece, over-promised and under-delivered in addressing this issue over the last couple of years. So evidence suggests that it's going to persist longer than they probably anticipate," Barrett told the Airline Economics conference in Dublin. (Writing by Padraic Halpin; Editing by Conor Humphries)
