KfW IPEX-Bank sees more operating leases and sale-and-lease-backs. More airport sales in Asia/LatAm

KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH's Michael Nosbuesch, Head of Aviation Financing and Thomas Brehler, Head of Port, Airport, Construction Industry/PPP Financing speak exclusively to CAPA on financing trends for the global airline and airport sectors. Mr Nosbuesch suggests that operating leases and sale and lease-backs might increase if ECA funding recedes and and carriers look for greater flexibility. On airport privatisation investments, Mr Brehler sees Asia and Latin America as the "ignition" points with the key opportunities in India, China and Brazil.
