World’s No 2 lessor sees further M&A amid acute undersupply of planes in Asia in next two to three years

THE benefits of scale and the impact of consolidation will continue to shape the aircraft leasing industry over the coming decade, said Andy Cronin, chief executive of Avolon, the world’s second-largest aircraft lessor.
