50 Airline finance/treasury executives already confirm attendance at CAPA Fleet Summit

Analysis

CAPA - Centre for Aviation is pleased to announce 50 airline executives have already confirmed their participation at the CAPA Airline Fleet & Finance Summit at the Capella Singapore on 25/26 March.

CFOs/Finance/Treasury executives from some 20 airlines will be giving investor roadshow-style presentations on their fleet and financing plans and they will be joined by a similar number of carriers, represented by their Finance/Treasury and Fleet Management departments, in the Fleet Marketplace networking sessions throughout the Summit.

"This is an airline-centric air finance event. It's unique in the calendar for its focus on attracting airline finance heads to discuss their fleet plans and to test financial markets, particularly in the burgeoning Asia Pacific region, to meet the rising financing challenge facing the airline industry. This year we've attracted interest from US and European airlines keen to explore this new market, among them Allegiant and Lufthansa for example", said CAPA Executive Chairman, Peter Harbison.

The summit will also feature four panel discussions on key issues facing the fleet/financing outlook:

Where are aircraft values and lease rates heading for the most popular types in Asia?
ASEAN open skies - what does it mean for aircraft orders and deliveries?
China and North Asia: How new airline business models will provoke irreversible change - and what does this mean for the rest of Asia?
Closing Finance Panel: Where will the capital come from for aircraft deliveries to Asia in 2014?
