  • How have high interest rates and Basel IV regulations reshaped aviation lending so far this year? Is aviation still a priority for banks amid ESG/ratings considerations and high interest rates?
  • Are bank loans are becoming less attractive to investors and airlines? What could the next generation of banking product look like? Is there an opportunity for bank/private credit partnerships such as syndication or hybrid models? 
  • How is the rise of private credit in aviation filling the gap left by banks? Are there any novel asset types that are becoming private credit territory?
  • As private credit and alternative lenders have higher yield targets, has this pushed them into complex, higher-risk structures, and is this sustainable long-term in the lending space? 
  • Will the market balance keep shifting, or will we start to see a clear distinction on who funds what?
