As airlines face rising financing costs, evolving ESG pressures, and varied access to global capital pools, the question is no longer just how to finance, but where and with whom. In this session, financiers and airline treasurers unpack the latest shifts in capital access across the JOLCO market, structured debt, export credit, and regional vehicles—from French Tax Leases to ANPI-backed deals. With sustainable finance still a strategic priority for some, the panel will also examine the real-world viability of green structures amid a higher-rate environment.

• How are airlines balancing traditional bank debt, lessor support, and capital markets access in today’s environment? Are new entrants or alternative lenders playing a larger role?

• In a tightening cycle, what do airlines need most from financiers?
• How active are Asian capital markets in supporting aviation? Are ANPI-backed structures, French Tax Leases, or hybrid public–private platforms gaining traction?

• Which types of airlines are successfully accessing the JOLCO and structured financing markets today—and who’s left out

• Are ESG-linked products, SLBs, or SAF-tied facilities still viable in a world of elevated base rates? What does a credible “sustainable” aviation finance product now require?
