In his latest blog, our Ireland Managing Director looks at the
growth in the country's aircraft leasing industry, and how to
best make use of it.
Driven by the demand for commercial aircraft, 2014 was another
strong year for the Irish
aircraft leasing industry. The industry also benefited from
continued investor confidence in the asset class and an overall
widening of the types of assets available for leasing to include
helicopters and private jets. Capital markets activity has been
dominated by commercial aircraft transactions mainly due to the
sheer value and existing order book of the fixed-wing aircraft.
Most aviation industry experts are predicting phenomenal growth
in the aviation industry over the next decade, driven by the demand
from
China's growing middle class and supported by new emerging
markets such as
Indonesia,
Brazil and
South Africa.
