A comparative look at ABS, bilateral bank lending, private credit and alternative structures, and how each is being priced in today’s market.
How bank appetite and lending behaviour are evolving under Basel 3.1 and tighter regulatory frameworks, and where banks remain competitive.
The role of alternative lenders and private capital in filling gaps as traditional bank lending becomes more selective.
How different financing routes perform under today’s capital-cost constraints and shifting macro conditions.
Key considerations for lessors and airlines when choosing between structured funding vs. flexible capital, including execution risk, covenants and long-term optionality.
How lenders are currently assessing airline and lessor credit risk and what that means for borrowers seeking competitive terms.
