Less room for new players in aircraft financing market

Singapore

SOME players in the aircraft financing market are taking a cautious view, given the backdrop of a large number of aircraft orders and deliveries, which could lead to oversupply in the industry.

"A lot of people have come into the market because they view that there's money to be made, but there's also money to be lost," said Paul Jebely, global head of aviation finance at law firm Clyde & Co. "Caution is the prevailing sentiment among those that have been active in the market for more than one cycle."
