The leasing industry plays an essential role in aviation, whether it’s engines or aircraft that are being leased, many airlines could not launch or expand without it.
This is a market that requires large amounts of capital and is usually out of bounds, directly at least, to most retail investors.

Tune in for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of aviation technology and finance!
