Practice Area: Aviation Finance [Aviation/Asset Finance]
Practice Area's Profile:
The aviation finance industry continues to be in a positive and optimistic mood both in Ireland and globally. Lessors have experienced strong demand for narrow body jets by both airlines and investors, and new-order delivery lags suggest that there is no sign of such demand abating in the near-term. The positive macro fundamentals underpinning the airline industry growth have benefitted the aviation finance industry. Bottom line airline growth is being fuelled by robust demand, low finance costs and operational efficiencies, and will translate to the fourth consecutive year of sustainable profits for the airline industry. The strong airline industry fundamentals extolled by many have been validated further by recent published projections by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
