The seminar also included a panel discussion and Q&A with senior management from SMBC Aviation Capital, SMBC bank and SMFL.

Michael Weiss, Head of Aircraft Trading, SMBC Aviation Capital said, "Aircraft as an asset class continues to grow in popularity for a number of reasons including the predicted growth of air travel, the need for new aircraft to satisfy that demand, and increasing importance of aircraft leasing to the sector over the coming years.
