Executive Chairman Jeff Chatfield joins DirectorsTalk Interviews to discuss company
progress and expectations for 2024.

In this interview, Jeff discusses various aspects of the aircraft leasing industry
and the company’s performance in 2023, as well as expectations for 2024. He highlights
the strong demand for aircraft like the A321 and A320, and touches on the recovery
of the travel industry post-COVID. Chatfield also addresses the misconception that
Avation primarily serves tier two and three airlines, emphasizing their dealings
with flag carriers and improved recovery of arrears. He speaks on the challenges
faced due to rising interest rates affecting leasing costs and the squeeze on yield
and interest rates. Jeff also discusses the availability of debt and equity capital
in 2023, the potential for consolidation in the lessors market, and the impact of
supply issues causing delays in aircraft delivery. He suggests that companies with
existing aircraft or order books, like Avation, are well-positioned to capitalize
on these market conditions.

Avation PLC (LON:AVAP) is a commercial passenger aircraft leasing company owning
a fleet of aircraft which it leases to airlines across the world.
