Who should attend?
This course is open to all qualified financial professionals, particularly Analysts, Associates, Managers and General Managers and supports Ishka's commitment to the next generation of aviation finance leaders.
If you are new to aviation leasing or would welcome a refresher, this is the perfect opportunity.
The academy is designed for finance professionals working in the aviation space and will be particularly useful for:
Banks, Financial Institutions, Non-Bank Finance Companies, Airline Finance Teams, MRO/Technical Firms, Lawyers, Aviation Focused Consultants, Regulatory Bodies and Organisations.
Key questions to explore include:
- Why does it exist and what does it achieve (it’s a source of finance and offers flexibility in fleet planning)?
- Why do some aviation financiers prefer to finance or invest in lessors, rather than finance or in airlines?
- Lessor fleet planning – placing new orders v airline sale and leaseback v M&A v portfolio acquisitions.
- Lessor business models including but not limited to – new aircraft v mid life, narrowbody v widebody v regional, mainstream v niche.
