Last week our Aviation team attended and sponsored Airline
Economics Growth Frontiers, Dublin. With around 3,000 delegates and
top class speakers, it was a great opportunity to learn about
industry trends from experts across the globe. Below are some key
insights from the conference.
Outlook for Aviation
Overall there is a positive outlook for 2019; passenger numbers
are expected to continue to grow, underpinning further growth in
the aircraft financing market. The leading airlines have healthy
balance sheets that will allow them to ride out any downturn, and
private equity financing remains strong.
However there are still areas of concern. The uncertainty of
Brexit and the possible consequences still hangs over the European
landscape, along with increasing interest rates, oil costs and the
potential trade wars.
