Indian government protects aircraft fleets from unscrupulous lessors
In India, the world's third-largest aviation market, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government recently decided not to allow lessors and vulture funds to withdraw aircraft, request de-registration and force the export of aircraft. According to Cirium, a data and advanced analytics solutions provider for the aviation industry, India is one of the world's top large aircraft leasing markets. Up to 75 per cent of aircraft were delivered to India in the form of sales and lease back contracts between 2018 and 2022, much higher than the world average of 35 per cent. The move by the Indian government comes after Go First Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection, shutting down on May 3. Lessors had requested to deregister and withdraw 54 aircraft from Go First Airlines.

Global airlines more than double 2023 profit outlook
"The pandemic years are behind us and borders are open as normal," Willie Walsh, head of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), told IATA's annual summit of some 300 carriers. IATA boosted its industry profit forecast to $9.8 billion from $4.7 billion cheered by strong travel demand and an easing in oil prices. Revenue is expected to grow by 9.7% to $803 billion, inching closer to 2019's pre-pandemic level of $838 billion. But slender profit margins of 1.2% mean repairing damaged balance sheets and offering sustainable returns on investments will continue to be a headache for some airlines, Walsh said. He said airlines on average make $2.25 per passenger, "which is less than the price of a cup of coffee, a subway ticket". The profit forecast, raised from one given in December, reflected a boost in Europe, despite a wave of strikes. Airlines have in recent months reported strong results as they prepare for a busy summer season, with travel demand … [Read more...] about Global airlines more than double 2023 profit outlook
