Strengthening investment strategy and deal execution with data and insights

How GOAL Aircraft Leasing combines Market Insights and Airline Intelligence as part of its day-to-day workflow.

GOAL Aircraft Leasing case study

Overview

GOAL Aircraft Leasing is a German asset manager with 28 years of experience in aircraft leasing, operating internationally with a presence in Seoul. The firm is led by Managing Director, Vicente Alava-Pons, who oversees marketing, technical teams, fundraising, strategic projects, and trading.

The challenge

Operating in a complex and competitive aviation finance market, GOAL requires access to reliable, in-depth intelligence to support decision-making across transactions, strategy, and investor engagement.

A key challenge is going beyond surface-level reporting. While many providers focus on delivering facts, GOAL needs deeper analysis and interpretation to understand what developments mean in practice — particularly from an investor or financier perspective.

In addition, when preparing and executing transactions, the team must:

  • Build robust internal investment cases
  • Prepare external investor presentations
  • Assess airline risk, including for carriers without external ratings
  • Understand current market conditions and deal structures

The solution

GOAL uses Ishka Airfinance’s platform — combining Insights and Airline Intelligence — as part of its day-to-day workflow. Insights are used regularly to stay up to date with relevant and timely topics, with a focus on:

  • Analytical depth and interpretation
  • Implications for investors and financiers
  • Loan data and pricing insights, including LTVs, tenors, and credit parameters

These insights support the team in forming a clearer view of the market and shaping strategy.

Alongside this, the Airline Intelligence tool plays a key role in transaction execution. It is used to:

  • Prepare internal deal pitches
  • Support presentations to external investors
  • Strengthen bids and overall deal strategy

A particularly valuable feature is the independent airline rating, especially for airlines that are not externally rated.

The ROI result

Using Ishka Airfinance, GOAL is able to:

  • Stay consistently informed with relevant, in-depth market analysis
  • Build stronger, more informed investment strategies
  • Support internal alignment on transaction decisions
  • Enhance credibility in investor presentations
  • Better understand market dynamics and deal structures

By combining analysis with data in a single platform, Ishka provides a more detailed and comprehensive view of the market, supporting both strategic thinking and day-to-day transaction activity.

"Ishka Airfinance is more powerful, more detailed, and helps you form a real view of the market."
