Asia Regional fleets exploration: A region in need

After a COVID-19 induced lull, aircraft deliveries are set to ramp up across the Asia Pacific in 2023.  More than 700 new aircraft are due to arrive in the region this year, more than double the number in 2022. How will these aircraft be funded? Regional carriers are still largely loss making and finances are yet to recover from the impact of the pandemic. In addition, debt has become more expensive, banks are proving risk averse and export credit agency activity is still strictly limited. 

What is the outlook for aircraft delivery financing for 2023?
