Conclusion.This book is one of the first to explore aviation and aircraft leasing and purchase as an investable asset class, as Asia's infrastructure and logistics boom continues. Airplanes are an absolutely crucial but capital-intensive component of the global economy. The author, as a businessperson in the industry as well as a researcher, bridges a gap in the existing literature by making the connection between academic and industry research in his analysis of the underlying aviation asset class return and risk profile. The book investigates the characteristics of the global, Asia and China specific aircraft leasing industry while the dynamics and drivers of the aviation and leasing landscape are also examined in respect to the global aircraft market and more specifically the Asia and China market. In addition, an analysis of the drivers affecting cross border mergers and acquisitions in the industry is developed. This book will be of interest to more general aviation enthusiasts, industry participants, and academics.
