Aircraft & Engine Finance & Leasing Americas Conference

UBM Aviation has recently announced the launch of the Aircraft & Engine Finance & Leasing Americas Conference. The event will be held in Las Vegas, USA, on October 2-4, 2012, offering regional analysis of critical developments in the aircraft and engine leasing sector.

Providing interactive content through presentations, panel discussions and expert-led workshops, as well as networking opportunities in an intimate setting, the event has been billed as a 'must-attend' for all aviation professionals with leasing operations in the U.S, Canada and South America.

Supported by the airline community, as well as representatives from OEMs, independent MRO providers, component manufacturers and leasing companies across the region, the conference aims to tackle the technical challenges of aircraft and engine lease management.

Key speakers currently include: Allegiant Air, WestJet, Air Canada, Engine Lease Finance Corporation, Shannon Engine Support, Sargent Aerospace and Defense, Heico, CFM, Airbus Americas, IBA Group, Morten Beyer & Agnew, KPMG, Wilmington Trust and Wells Fargo Bank.

Following on from the success of UBM Aviation's Engine Leasing, Trading and Finance Conference in London in June, the organisers expect the Las Vegas event to develop a number of key themes.

Speaking on behalf of UBM Aviation, Programme Editor - Jim Whittock, described the event as a "unique opportunity for representatives from across the airline and MRO community to engage directly with leasing companies, financiers and appraisers on the kinds of maintenance, operational and contract-related issues that rarely get air time at rival events. Confusion about the implications of the finer points of lease terms costs time and money, and a forum like the Aircraft and Engine Finance and Leasing Conference provides an excellent platform to iron that confusion out."
