Welcome to this year’s Ishka – Grant Thornton Academy - a half day series of masterclasses runs alongside the annual Ishka Aviation Finance Festival and offers attendees the chance to further their understanding of Pricing, Lease Management, airline restructuring as delivered by experts in their field from Grant Thornton.

Ishka continues to raise awareness of the aviation industry and asset class and through interactive educational events we aim to equip new entrants to the market with the tools necessary for a better understanding of the leasing world. For those needing a refresher, the masterclasses will provide the most up-to-date thinking on the three main topics to be covered and we are delighted to be teaming up with Grant Thornton, who will share their technical knowledge and real-life experiences.

Each session is highly interactive with Q&As at the end of every segment. It will take place in The Conrad, along side the main conference.
