Abstract
This article outlines the impact of the 2007 to 2008 financial markets crisis on aviation finance, with a particular focus on the financing of aircraft. Essentially, the financial markets crisis brought about a decrease in the share of bank loans, compensated by increased activity from export credit agencies. The article also endeavours to demonstrate how important access to capital will be for the long-term development of the aviation industry.
