Aircraft Finance and Lease Russia & CIS, the 5th international conference will be held on March, 12 2013 in Moscow will gather industry professionals to discuss and share their views of the fast growing air transport market in the region.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.The conference agenda reflects the latest trends of the air transport industry in Russia, which is currently undergoing a major transformation.Stable growth of Russian airlines’ passenger flow is higher than the world average level and is accompanied by a massive renewal of their fleet, the advent of new technologies in operating activity and sales management, aggressive infrastructure development of major airports. The market structure is also changing: major transporters rise their stakes, new powerful players appear on the charter market and the weakest companies stop their activities.Regional airlines influenced by the decisions made by the aviation authorities have to substitute the obsolete regional aircraft with new foreign planes. The government’s initiatives aimed at fiscal support towards the renewal of regional fleet in 2012 have were implemented in practice but could not fully satisfy the transporters’ demand.At plenary sessions and panel discussions the participants of the conference will have the opportunity to learn more about these and other development trends of the Russian air transportation market, receive full and up-to-date information about the capabilities of Russian and foreign financial institutions and leasing companies straight from the source, learn about the opinions of financial sector experts, investors, spokesmen of state regulators and heads of airlines.
