Access to finance is a perennial challenge for many African and Global airlines and it starts with identifying the right solution for your business model.
For this episode, I am joined by Tristan Brouard, Vice President of Asset Management at ACC Aviation, a global leader in aircraft leasing that offers transaction and consultancy services.
Tristan will be hosting a panel at AviaDev in Zanzibar and in the build up, we have created an insightful blog post that supports this podcast. Read the blog post here

How can airlines take concrete steps to help themselves become more investment-friendly and build trust with lenders and lessors?
Will there be a shift in how aircraft financing is approached in Africa?
