A large number of international banks are also attending the event.
'The credit quality of airlines like Emirates and Qatar Airways has always meant that international banks have viewed the Middle East as an important market,' says Alasdair Whyte, chief editor of Airfinance Journal, 'but Middle Eastern banks are an important source of cash in their own right. Aircraft are good assets for Islamic finance, but the market is not restricted to Shariah compliant banks.'
Over 150 delegates are expected at the conference, which is the region's leading aviation finance event, comprising of airlines, aircraft manufacturers, banks, leasing companies and other leading aviation firms.
The conference is sponsored by Bombardier, Boeing, Citigroup, Embraer, GE, Linklaters and Natexis Banques Populaires.
