Ishka Financing Sustainable Aviation
26 March 2025, Hilton Tower Bridge London
Taking stock and moving needles
5 weeks to go! Sustainable aviation is no longer a concept, or an opt-in/opt-out choice. The industry must comply with regulations, in particular the use of SAF. Investors and financiers are scrutinizing their commitments and strategies, owners and operators must act.
Now in its fourth year, this event is specially designed for all members of the aviation value chain to come together and discuss, share and collaborate on strategies to meet their obligations and meet their decarbonisation ambitions, with an agenda covering how sustainability is transforming financing of aircraft and shaping new leasing structures. Fear not, the acronyms will be in play - CSRD, CBAM, ETS… the list goes on. In the last 12 months there have been changes in political leadership at EU, UK and US levels. What does this mean for a global business like aviation? We have the key speakers to help answer these questions.
Away from politics, perhaps the most obvious challenge is filling the finance, production and delivery gaps for SAF and e-SAF. Ishka has assembled an unparalleled lineup of investors and developers helping to close this gap. They are not all from where you might think, and if you are an airline or lessor, you may surprised about options available to you to get involved.

Our annual cross-cutting gathering of aviation's finance leaders preparing for the challenges of decarbonizing flying. Collaboration, cooperation and communication lie at the heart of solving this puzzle and this conference provides just that, combining thought leadership, practical insights, global perspectives, arming delegates with a road map to ensure they are doing their bit (whether regulated or incentivized!) This year, we shall cover financing, deal making, reporting and investing through a sustainability lens, along with the key issues facing energy developers, investors and customers looking to fille the supply gap for cleaner fuel. Taking an educational approach to financing sustainable aviation, delegates will benefit from key topics, including:
- What are key stakeholders doing to decarbonize aviation - views from carriers, investors, lessors and banks?
- What's next on the policy, reporting and regulatory front affecting lending, finance and investment?
- The industry reacts, how aviation works together to fill the energy funding gap; the who, what, how and why of building a consortium
- Can you utilize sustainable finance to maintain and grow your investor pool?
- Are traditional investors and lenders being regulated out of the market?
- SAF World View – markets, policies and production global comparison
- How can producers form alliances to meet huge demand and create opportunities?
- Looking to the future, managing older assets – Can golden years be made green?
