  • Understanding what allocators of capital are willing to do. Is there a shift from IRR to distributed capital?
  • Who are the LPs in aviation currently? How do they get comfortable? What are the deal length and return expectations? 
  • Where does aviation fit in an alternatives portfolio? How does it compare to other asset classes?  
  • What more can aviation do to overcome internal hurdles for deals, especially for institutional investors? Do investments need to be rated?
