Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the Aviation Week Network team, I’m very pleased to welcome you to Engine Leasing, Trading & Finance Americas 2023. Following the successful launch of this event last year in Miami, we’re pleased to be bringing the conference to Dallas and to continue the colocation with Aero-Engines Americas. Going into 2023, we face global economic headwinds, reaffirming some of the long-standing challenges to the engine leasing market, as well as presenting new ones. At this event, we’ve gathered a line-up of expert speakers to share their thoughts on the current industry landscape, and to assess how it may evolve through the next 12 months. All with the aim to better support the industry’s ability to plan the leasing, trading, financing, and maintenance of engines. We’re pleased to offer you access to these expert perspectives as well as extensive networking opportunities.

We encourage all attendees to engage with discussions, to ask questions and to take part in live polling. Across the event, we will be using the Slido platform, which can be accessed by visiting www.slido.com on any device and entering the code #ELTFUSA. You can also join by scanning the QR codes placed around the conference room.
