Engine Leasing, Trading & Finance and Aero-Engines Americas

Florida, USA

28 Feb 2024

Engine Leasing, Trading and Finance Americas is taking place on 28th February in Miami, Florida and is co-located with Aero-Engines Americas 2024 taking place on 29th February - 1st March 2024. 

 

ELTF Americas is a one day forum focused on the aero engine leasing, trading and financing market, bringing together this niche community to review latest trends and issues in the industry.

 

Aero-Engines Americas is a hugely popular event series and is the largest conference exclusively dedicated to the trends and issues related to the region’s engine community.


Bringing together senior representatives from airlines, MROs, OEMs, lessors and suppliers, Aero-Engines Americas is the leading forum to network and discuss the engine market.

 

Wasim Akhtar, Director of Engines, AJW Group, will be participating in the panel discussion Mature Engines: Capacity & Scope of Shop Visits on Thursday 29th February. Wasim and the panel of experts will be discussing how services for major fleets are developing as they move towards the mature end of their lifecycle, what services are being utilised to keep the engines servicable, and whether there is a shift in balance of airline and lessor ownership changing maintenance requirements of airlines.

View the full conference agenda here.

 

We are delighted to be sponsoring the end of day one networking reception at Aero-Engines Americas, on 29th February. Catch up with the AJW team and join us for a drink!
