How should investors assess opportunities across new and used aircraft in today's market? Using recent transactions and real-world case studies, GOAL will compare the investment characteristics of both strategies and explore how asset values, financing and credit considerations influence the investment decision.

The forum will explore:

• New vs. used: Where do the most attractive risk-adjusted investment opportunities sit today, and how does the investment case differ between the two?
• Financing the investment: How do debt providers approach new versus used aircraft, and what differences are investors seeing in leverage, pricing, covenants and financing terms?
• Asset value vs. credit risk: How should investors balance the underlying value and liquidity of the aircraft against airline credit when assessing an opportunity?
• Building the return case: How do lease rates, residual-value assumptions, financing costs and exit strategies impact expected returns across new and used assets?
• Putting theory into practice: GOAL will draw on recent transactions and case studies to demonstrate how these considerations translate into real investment decisions.’
