As we head in to 2020, you could be forgiven for thinking these are current headlines. Actually, they are from the Financial Times at the end of 2009, ten years ago. The old adage “the more things change, the more they stay the same” has had a certain truth to it!
However, there is a ‘but’ as far as today is concerned. The next set of changes may result in a different landscape for aviation.
The 2010-2019 decade has in many respects seen the financial appetite for aviation assets taken to its limits. Investors have found aviation to be an alternative asset class that has promised to deliver acceptable returns, and for those priced and structured correctly, the rewards will indeed be acceptable. However, in the coming years it looks like that promise will be tested, especially where investment risk profiles have grown and become increasingly reliant on ‘nothing going wrong’.
Another sector already tested and bruised as a result of the Boeing 737 MAX tragedies, is the regulatory relationship between the aircraft OEMs and the airworthiness and certification authorities.
The rise of the ESG sector in 2019 may also be a precursor to investors revisiting and reviewing how and where they play in the investment space. Air transports’ leaders and guardians need to represent the positive benefits of aviation far more effectively than they have done for many years.
