Course Leaders: HSH Nordbank and White and Case
The aviation industry has gone through dramatic changes over the past twelve months, and there are sure to be further challenges around the corner as the world economy wrestles with the after effects of the global economic and financial downturn.
The 2009 European Summer School of International Aviation Finance will provide the ideal opportunity for delegates to gain a comprehensive understanding of the aviation market as it stands today.
Delegates will have the chance to put their questions to the distinguished faculty, work and network with like minded professionals from around the world, and will leave the school armed with the practical knowledge and business connections they need to make informed and profitable business decisions in the year ahead.
Through presentations, panel discussions and group work on supervised case studies, delegates will:
- Learn how the industry has evolved in response to the global downturn and see how this will affect aircraft financing in the year ahead
- Understand which financing methods are available in the market at the moment and which are likely to (re)appear in the coming months
- Discover funding options that are becoming more popular in the current market such as export credit and manufacturer finance – what does this look like, how much liquidity can clients expect to draw on and how will these deals be structured?
- Gain in-depth knowledge on operating leases, the sale / leaseback market and structuring and managing a lease
- Understand what happens when things to wrong – appreciate the fundamentals of remarketing, debt workouts, transferability of assets and insurance cover
The School will be attended by:
