Back by popular demand and modeled after our highly rated Dublin CTO panel, this session brings together top technical executives from leading leasing firms to share their insights on the most pressing asset management challenges in today’s aviation landscape. With a focus on real-world technical operations, the panel will dive into issues such as supply chain constraints, redelivery complexities, and the evolving role of digital tools in managing aircraft assets. This is a must-attend for anyone involved in the technical side of leasing, offering practical insights and candid perspectives from the people who keep the assets flying.

• How should lessors think about residual value risk as widebody demand shifts, OEM delivery delays persist, and fleets age differently than pre‑pandemic expectations?
• Has the industry become too dependent on OEM‑controlled aftermarket solutions, or is that model unavoidable given current supply chain and parts issues?
• How should heads of technical evaluate and implement technology solutions (such as AI-driven predictive maintenance, cloud-based records, and blockchain) for truly improving lease management and asset value protection, rather than chasing digital trends?
• Are traditional lease return conditions essential to protect asset value, or an outdated assumption that risks damaging airline relationships?
