 In late 2017, ISTAT unveiled a new communication initiative, titled ISTAT Aviation Insights, sponsored by PwC. The series recently crossed the one-year milestone and marked the occasion with a conversation between Merx Aviation Finance Managing Director Gerry Butler and Goshawk Aviation Chief Executive Officer Ruth Kelly, where the two discussed a range of issues.
Since its inception, the series has featured one-on-one interviews with key industry players via video format. Members can look for additional installments to the series throughout the coming year and beyond, as more guests are lined up to participate in the ongoing series.
Condensed transcripts are published quarterly in Jetrader, but don't miss the full interviews on ISTAT's News page.
Additionally, here is a link to the current slate of published interviews.

A little over six years ago, Engine Lease Finance Corporation Group President and CEO Jon Sharp wrote an article for Jetrader that examined the state of engine leasing. The original article looked back roughly 30 years to trace the industry's development from being a principally OEM product support function into a commercially sustainable short-term leasing business and ultimately into a very sophisticated long-term operating leasing business.
With more than a half decade passing since the original article's publication — a time period that can see massive changes in the industry — Sharp revisits the topic, providing new insights, assessments and predictions, and he offers an assessment of his original prognostications.
