  • Financiers and lessors who make the global air travel industry tick gather for an annual meeting in Dublin on Monday, buoyed by strong lease rates and relatively stable oil prices but facing uncertainty over jet shortages and trade tensions.

The Global Air Finance Summit, taking place in Dublin, is addressing critical issues in the aviation industry such as jet shortages, trade risks, and the impact of global economic conditions. The summit, which is a significant event for aviation finance, will see over 1,000 delegates discussing the challenges posed by supply chain disruptions, increased costs, and geopolitical tensions. Key topics include the ongoing shortage of aircraft due to production delays at major manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus, the effects of inflation on leasing costs, and how airlines are adapting to these constraints. Additionally, the summit will explore how the industry is navigating through trade disputes and the potential for increased protectionism, alongside the financial strategies to mitigate these risks. The event also highlights the industry's recovery from the downturn caused by the global health crisis, with a focus on sustainability and the transition towards more environmentally friendly aviation practices.
