Main Agenda

  • Given current macroeconomic headwinds (inflation, interest rates etc.), how do investors view aviation debt compared to other asset classes including fixed income securities, equity, real estate etc.? 
  • In terms of strategic allocation, what benefits does aviation and its financial products deliver over other asset classes i.e. property portfolios? Are new investors moving into aviation? 
  • What does it take to get a deal over the line now? What are the obstacles? How stringent are sustainability pressures?  
  • Does aviation meet liquidity requirements for institutional investors who are derisking? 
  • Are investors looking towards more vanilla fixed income to get yield?
