  • How are delivery delays and engine shortages impacting asset values? Is this likely to change?

  • Where is the tipping point between continued operation and teardown? Has this changed in the investment thesis?
  • What are the most futureproof engine and aircraft types investors should consider for the next decade and beyond?

Inside the Aftermarket: Where Is Value Being Created in MRO and USM?

Simon Goodson
Chief Executive Officer,
AerFin

As aircraft and engine availability continue to shape the aviation market, the aftermarket remains an increasingly important part of the investment landscape. But where is value really being created across MRO, USM and the wider aircraft lifecycle, and what should investors understand when assessing opportunities in the sector?

Join AerFin for an interactive discussion exploring the commercial, operational and investment dynamics shaping the aftermarket today.

The forum will explore:

  • Where is the opportunity? Examining where value is emerging across MRO, USM, engines and component markets.
  • Beyond the numbers: What should investors consider beyond traditional financial metrics when assessing an aftermarket business or opportunity?
  • Managing supply and demand: How are availability, material demand and changing fleet requirements influencing aftermarket strategies and asset values?
  • Creating long-term value: What differentiates businesses capable of delivering sustainable returns in a technically complex and rapidly evolving market?
  • From strategy to execution: Drawing on real-world experience and case studies to explore how operational and technical decisions ultimately translate into investment outcomes.
