AVIATION 2020 WEBCAST: Everything has an element of risk - but not everyone sees it

Webcast date: Wednesday April 21st, 2010

As the industry tentatively starts to call time on the downturn, there is a strong case for “now” being a good time to buy. However, aviation is still vulnerable to exogenous shocks and those who demonstrate a greater understanding of an aircraft investment merits are better placed to seize the real opportunities.

Eddy Pieniazek, Head of Ascend Consultancy, Les Weal, Head of Valuations and Appraisals, Andy Golub, Head of Risk Advisory The Americas and Paul Sheridan, Head of Risk Advisory EMEA discuss how risk in investing in aviation can be successfully measured and managed and translated into profitable opportunity.
