Back by popular demand, this session puts a panel of lenders and capital providers in the hot seat.

Presented with a series of fictional (but realistic) aviation investment opportunities, the panel must decide whether to commit capital, negotiate better terms, or walk away entirely.

As each scenario unfolds, panelists will reveal the risks, assumptions and red flags that influence investment committee decisions, offering a rare insight into how capital is actually allocated in today's aviation market.

Expect debate, and insights as we discover what separates a great deal from one that never gets approved.
