With a $1.2 trillion market, Asia-Pacific is resilient. Accounting for 38% of the market, the Asia-Pacific region is showing relative strength while globally the aviation industry is on the downturn. Asia-Pacific airlines have strong balance sheets and generally good credit. They are solid investments for financiers. But with financiers struggling to get the funding together, and the last upsurge of turmoil in the financial markets adding to the uncertainty, the scene is set for a remolding of the aviation landscape. If consolidation is inevitable, which airlines will gain funding and which airlines will be eaten up?
Financiers need to find out which airlines have the most flexible and practical business plans. Airlines need to know which investors they can rely on when facing the challenges on the horizon; they need to showcase the health and flexibility of their business to attract scarce funding.
Euromoney Seminars and Airfinance Journal’s 9th Annual Asia-Pacific Airfinance Conference could not be more timely. With the flight to quality conferences that provide high-class market information and top-level speakers, this is the one forum where you will meet the decision-makers who can really push funding your way. We will address the following key issues:

- The heads of aviation finance at all the top investment banks will discuss in depth the financing options available and what tools airlines are using to cope in the down turn
- The new consolidated landscape – predictions on how it is likely to pan out
- Operating leases and the direction of lease prices in the current climate
And much more…
