Main Agenda

  • How overlevered have companies’ balance sheets become as a result of multiple waves of COVID, the Ukraine crisis, increased fuel and labour costs?
  • Assessing various capital solutions from recapitalising debt to loans for airlines and lessors.
  • What financial solutions have been more, or less, popular with aviation investors and airlines in the wake of rising interest rates?
  • What measures are airlines taking to become more efficient in an attempt to correct their balance sheets and become more attractive for investment?
  • Evaluating how some airlines avoided state relief loans and for those who needed to use it, how will this impact their revenue going forward?
