Euromoney Seminars and Airfinance Journal present the 9^th Annual Middle East and Africa Airfinance Conference, 28^th & 29^th September 2011, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai.

The resilience of the Middle East aviation sector’s recovery has taken the industry by surprise. Competitive actions of Middle East airlines are gearing up to disrupt traffic flows for many European, North American and South Asian carriers, thus opening huge opportunities for investors to support Middle East airlines.

Despite the political upheaval in the Middle East, the region remains upbeat with Emirates Airlines recently closing its first capital markets issuance, Qatar Airways acquiring stakes in Cargolux and Ethiopian airlines securing a $765 million package deal to finance aircraft whilst Air Arabia, the region’s third largest carrier, has established itself as the world’s most profitable low cost carrier.

Now in its 9^th year and regarded as the most established aircraft finance event in the Middle East and Africa, the Dubai Airfinance conference will bring together CEOs/CFOs/Treasurers of all the major airlines in the region with the heads of aircraft finance at the world’s largest banks, leasing companies, manufacturers, law firms, consultancies, export credit agencies and many other firms involved in aircraft financing.

Featuring the following key speakers:

James Rigney, Chief Financial Officer, Etihad Airways
Adel Ali, Group Chief Executive Officer, Air Arabia
Mukesh Sodani, Chief Financial Officer, Flydubai
Kassim Geresu, Chief Financial Officer, Ethiopian Airlines
Don Hubbard, Chief Financial Officer, Jazeera Airways
Brian Jeffery, Senior Vice President – Corporate Treasury, Emirates Airlines
