LEASING TOP 50 2024 REPORT

 

Fresh capital inflows transforming the aircraft leasing landscape


In the current market environment, we observe that lease yields have yet to show signs of an upturn, while interest rates remain high and show no immediate signs of easing. These challenges prompt critical questions: Are lease rates reflective of the underlying portfolio risk?

 

Despite adjustments for the impact of COVID, Return on Equity (ROE) figures for most top lessors, apart from AerCap, have dwindled to mid-high single digits compared to the robust 15% plus achieved a decade and a half ago. This raises a pivotal question - why are new investors still entering the space, and what kinds of deals are they engaging in?

 

The 2024 edition of the Leasing Top 50 report has been crafted to unravel these pressing questions, offering you valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of the aircraft leasing market.
