This includes several of Ishka’s signature Forums – closed-door, preregistered, bespoke workshops exploring critical topics with a laser-focus. As Ishka’s first event in Singapore, this festival brings together global leaders to address the region’s unique challenges and opportunities, offering unparalleled access to industry peers and actionable insights into the future of aviation finance in Asia. Key agenda highlights:

  • OEM Outlook: Deliveries, Delays, and Demand
  • Investor Panel: Where Is the Smart Capital Deploying?
