On December 6th, Grant Thornton hosted a panel debate with aviation industry leaders reflecting on a year where lessor cost of capital reached new heights, as investors continue to seek double digit levered returns.
Which leads us to question: With high interest rates the new norm, has debt and investment appetite been impacted?
We were joined by:
- Tim O’Connell, Partner, GT Aviation
- Lynn Guiney, CEO, SolEir,
- Jennifer Creevey, CFO Nordic Aviation capital
- Ailbhe Kenny, CFO Sky Leasing
- Barbara Fitzgerald, SPV Portfolio management and Origination, High Ridge Aviation
as they discussed the following questions:
- How active are trading markets?
- Have alternative lenders reshaped debt finance?
- Are lessors under pressure to sell to recycle capital?
- Will lessors return to the ABS marketplace?
For more information on the contents of the day, please reach out to Tim O’ Connell.
