What does Deal Intelligence cover?

Aviation finance transactions since 2013: aircraft and corporate financing, M&A, operating leases, aircraft trading, capital markets, ABS and EETCs. Public and private deals, collated by Ishka Airfinance.

What level of detail can I see?

Anything from a global overview to a regional summary, a product, a single borrower or an individual transaction.

How is it different from Bloomberg or LSEG?

Deal Intelligence is built only for aviation finance, by aviation finance specialists. All relevant transaction types are available in one place, saving you the time and costs of doing your own collation and ensuring comparability. This gives you not only all transactions but unique and customisable aggregate and segmental views of the industry.
