Main Agenda

  • What could the industry could do differently if we experience any of the recent events again?
  • A lot of lessors don’t have exposure to Russia by design – how did they decide this and are there any other countries that are on this list?
  • Did the industry not consider political and jurisdictional risk that dangerous? Have these outlooks changed?
  • Can airlines and lessors protect assets in the future against the risk of state takeovers?
  • Unique type of risk in Ukraine that you never really see in other (alternative) asset class investments
  • After recent violations, does the Cape Town Convention agreement hold stature anymore?
  • Are there gaps in lessor contingency coverage? Does the market for reinsurance cover this or is defaulting still an apparent issue?
  • Are investors looking to access this reinsurance market in a time of turbulence? If so, how can they?
