CAPA Iran Aviation Finance Summit, Tehran, 18-19 September 2016. A top level forum for discussion

No-one doubts the potential for expansion of Iran's aviation industry. After decades of exclusion from much of the world's aviation system, the country is eager to take an appropriate place that reflects its well educated population, its geographically important location and a potentially valuable tourism industry.

However, despite lifting of many sanctions, there remain several hurdles and uncertainties to overcome before some semblance of normalcy can be regained. The financial sector is central to most of these issues and securing a degree of certainty and transparency of process in international financial markets will be essential to stimulating new growth. Aircraft and related orders are ready to be implemented, but much hangs on decisions that must be made at a political level, across a range of disciplines.

The September Summit in Tehran will bring together many of the key decision makers and global experts in the area.
