In this episode of the Aviation Global Leaders podcast, we are joined by Austin Wiley, CEO of SKY Leasing, for a discussion on how the aviation market evolved throughout 2024. In conversation with Joe O’Mara, Head of Aviation Finance at KPMG, Wiley highlights the impressive 12% growth in RPK, the increasing demand for international and long-haul traffic, and the influence of geopolitical risks and OEM delays on the aircraft supply chain. He explains SKY Leasing’s focus on new and current-generation aircraft with long-term leases, the resulting lease rate increases, and the thriving trading environment driven by high residual values. Looking ahead, Wiley shares his optimism for 2025, pointing to strong demand and limited supply as key drivers of the market. Tune in for expert analysis on the future of aviation leasing and finance.
