Shapers of the aviation industry
We are advising the Aviation Working Group (AWG), a
consortium of 37 leading banks, lessors and manufacturers in aviation, on the
two biggest developments in the aircraft finance and leasing industry for the
past 10 years – the development of environment, social and governance (ESG)
principles for the aviation industry and the design and build of the Global
