Held annually in Moscow, Aircraft Finance and Lease Russia & CIS is dedicated entirely to covering the issues of aviation finance, aircraft and engine lease and fleet modernization for the Russian & CIS airlines.

A major industry conference for the region, Aircraft Finance and Lease Russia & CIS is recognized as the leading communication platform for airline decision-makers, aircraft industry, lessors and financiers.

The conference agenda reflects the latest trends on the global aircraft finance and lease markets with special impact on the Russian realities.

The year 2011 saw an extensive growth of international and domestic air traffic backed up by new deliveries of Western-built aircraft, both long-haul and regional to local operators.

What financial instruments are available for the Russian air transport sector?

These and many other issues will be the business of the day at plenary sessions and panel discussions.

Key issues include:

• Russian air transport: Trends and Forecasts
• Aircraft Lease Market Overview
• Russian and Foreign Capital Markets
• Funding Sources of Airline Activities

The conference will bring together Russian & CIS airline senior management with international and local leasing companies, banks and financial structures, insurance, industry suppliers and government officials who will gather to discuss vital issues and challenges on the international and domestic markets.
