How has the last 12 months been for leaders in leasing - up, down, smooth? What has been keeping the C-Suite awake?

  • Tariffs and geopolitics from the front line – how has your business been most impacted?
  • Aircraft shortages – what strategies have you employed to tackle this issue? How have retirement ages of aircraft been affected? What is the 'best' age to retire aircraft now?
  • What has been your biggest challenge from costs increasing,  engines or maintenance?
  • Lessors can either sell or expand into side asset classes; How important has AUM become? 
  • There is new capital flowing into the market, where can it flow to?

Investor Forum | Engines as an Asset Class Masterclass

Aircraft engines are at the heart of aviation value creation, representing both the industry’s largest cost driver and one of its most durable investment classes. With long-term service agreements, high barriers to entry, and a growing focus on fuel efficiency and sustainability, engines offer investors unique exposure to recurring revenues and technology-driven returns.

This session will examine where the most compelling opportunities lie across the engine lifecycle — from leasing and part-out markets to MRO partnerships and OEM-driven growth — and assess how shifts in fleet renewal, financing structures, and aftermarket demand are influencing valuations.
