Dear Attendee, On behalf of Aviation Week Network, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to our inaugural Engine Leasing, Trading & Finance Americas conference! This is an event which has run for many years in Europe, and we are excited to be bringing it across the Atlantic and to be co-locating with our established Aero-Engines Americas meeting. At this event we’re pleased to offer you access to the latest trends, viewpoints and networking opportunities. As we enter 2022, there is a renewed opportunity to review the lessons of the past year and to take stock of the challenges that the engine leasing market faces moving forwards. We are pleased to welcome an expert line-up of industry leading speakers to lend their perspectives on issues ranging from green time engine strategies, innovations in leasing arrangements and the investment and appraisals landscape.
