  • Are current lease rates and engine values justified, or are we in an engine bubble?
  • Are we in an engine shortage or engine crisis? How tight is supply really?
  • How is the evolving maturity of NEO engine platforms affecting reliability, maintenance cycles and overall asset performance?
  • Are newer engines helping to reinforce the value of older engines? 
  • With newer engines offering 15%-16% fuel efficiency gains, how are airlines weighing that against wider engine risk?
  • As engines are operating in harsher environments across Asia, are they facing more maintenance and reliability issues? How are global lessors adapting their engine strategy in response to this?
