07 Sep 2026

In this episode of The View from 30,000 Feet, Ishka Airfinance’s Conor Murphy speaks with advisory colleagues Stuart Flaye and Suzie Zevenhuizen about two timely areas of the aviation finance market. Stuart examines the latest progress on the Boeing 777X programme, its certification pathway, delivery expectations and the knock-on impact of delays on existing 777-300ERs. Suzie turns to Africa, exploring the structural challenges facing airlines across the continent, the contrasting outlook between regions, and why reforms in markets such as Nigeria could create new opportunities for aircraft financing and leasing.
