Abstract

The aircraft and aviation finance industry has seen large growth along with the overall aviation industry since the 1950s. It has developed from US- and European-centric origins to a more global and dynamic industry with many factors affecting the overall development. With regard to global growth, emerging markets stand out especially those of China and Asia. There has been tremendous growth in China, which has seen significant increases in all aspects of aviation financings, cross-border investment, and leasing activity. Overall, aviation finance is now a significant industry where global new aircraft deliveries worth well in excess of $126 billion are being invested annually in addition to investments in the secondary markets (Boeing Capital Corporation 2017).
