Ishka Trading Summit: Midlife, Engines & Parts
21 May 2025, Conrad Dublin
Get technical and connect with the midlife market
Our 3rd Ishka Trading Summit is a forum dedicated to dealmaking around midlife and end-of-life assets. Connecting engine lessors, aircraft asset managers, MRO shops, operators and more, it is a must attend for those looking to maximise returns in this highly complex portion of the value chain.
Given the relatively high returns possible
in this sector, it is also an opportunity for our investor community to
gain an expert insight into the highly technical, but lucrative side of
the industry. Expect candid and nuanced insight from leading expert
speakers, key decision-maker attendees and hear directly from investors
in the asset class.
