Aviation Financing
Last Updated Date:   19 December 2024


5 Units,  Semester 2

Course Description:
The aviation industry enables over US$3.5 trillion in Global Gross Domestic Product supporting over 87.7 million jobs around the world (half of which were in Asia). Core to this industry are its tools of trade, aircraft. The aircraft financing industry (in a typical year) is a US$200-250 billion industry. The Asia Pacific region (coming out of COVID-19) continues to be the region with the most number of new aircraft deliveries over the next 20 years according both Boeing and Airbus. As such the need and demand for the financing of this massive future fleet of aircraft deliveries is going to be considerable.

The financing of aviation assets is a hyper-competitive landscape giving rise to some of the most innovative, creative and complex financing products and methods not seen in the financing of any other asset class.
