Market Watch: Defining the Outlook for Aviation’s Next Phase
Cirium Ascend Consultancy Market Watch brings together aviation leaders and market experts for an afternoon of insight into the economic, operational, and asset-value trends defining the current aviation landscape. Join us on June 25th to discuss the latest state of the aviation market and then enjoy some networking drinks.
What we’ll cover:
- Coping in a high oil price and fuel shortage environment – how will airlines adapt?
- Cirium-modelled scenarios for traffic growth (or shrinkage) for the rest of this year
- Which aircraft types stand to benefit, and which ones will suffer?
- Is there a silver lining and where do opportunities present themselves
- What has happened to aircraft and engine values and lease rates so far and what is yet to come?
- A sneak peek at our mid-year Base Value forecast revisions
