Main Agenda

  • Has the supply of aircraft normalised? Is this the case with spare engines?
  • What does that mean for placing aircraft?
  • Do airlines have more choice in deciding what assets to utilise now?
  • Which airlines finally recovered financially from the pandemic shutdown? Whose balance sheets' are still saddled with debt?
  • Understanding what has changed. Who is more exposed to risk without a strong enough rebound in traffic?
