Financiers and lessors in the global air travel industry gather in Dublin for the annual Airline Economics event to discuss jet shortages and trade risks. The event provides an opportunity to monitor economic and trade risks in the industry. Leasing companies have seen rental and resale values for jetliners rise due to increased demand and supply chain issues following the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns remain over access to new aircraft as manufacturers struggle to ramp up deliveries. Delegates are split on how long the shortage will last, with some believing it could persist for several years. The potential impact of the change of power in the United States and the surging U.S. dollar on the airline industry are also under scrutiny.
