Geneva Aircraft Finance & Commercial Aviation Forum teams up with CAPA for market intelligence

200+ Aircraft manufacturers, lessors, financiers, fleet planners and aviation market analysts will be descending on Geneva in February for the global aircraft industry's leading event. Taking place over 4 days (22nd - 24th February 2011) at the President Wilson Hotel. The Geneva Forum 2011 provides structured networking opportunities and presentations from major global airlines and aviation markets experts, such as Willie Walsh, BAA, and Adam Pilarski, Avitas Aviation, where delegates will learn about the hottest developments and potential issues to consider when financing and leasing aircraft.

"A crucial aspect of our conference is the multitude of formal and informal opportunities to meet potential business contacts and strengthen existing relationships", says Sophie Milton, Conference Director. "At The Geneva Forum, we believe that a successful conference contains a balance of industry debate, blue sky thinking and business networking".

With each day individually themed, the conference agenda is designed to allow in-depth assessment of the market. Forecasting the future of the aviation business is the theme for 22 February, with plenary sessions on economic prediction beyond 2011, the evolution of financing aviation post crisis and commercial aviation trends. The 23rd February focuses on new aircraft delivery and finance, examining and showcasing next generation aircraft, the new drivers behind airline fleet strategy and new sources and structures for aircraft financing. The closing day, 24th February sees airlines and lessors to tackle the challenge of evolving business strategy to suit the climate for aviation.

In a new opening summit on 21st February, the Geneva Forum will examine the financial and operational challenges of the EU ETS scheme, for Airlines and Aircraft owners.
