In late 2017, ISTAT unveiled a new communication initiative, titled ISTAT Aviation Insights, sponsored by PwC. The series recently crossed the one-year milestone and marked the occasion with a conversation between Merx Aviation Finance Managing Director Gerry Butler and Goshawk Aviation Chief Executive Officer Ruth Kelly, where the two discussed a range of issues.

Since its inception, the series has featured one-on-one interviews with key industry players via video format. Members can look for additional installments to the series throughout the coming year and beyond, as more guests are lined up to participate in the ongoing series.

Condensed transcripts are published quarterly in Jetrader, but don't miss the full interviews on ISTAT's News page.

Additionally, here is a link to the current slate of published interviews.

• Dómhnal Slattery, Chief Executive Officer, Avolon
• Firoz Tarapore, Chief Executive Officer, DAE
• Peter Chang, President and Chief Executive Officer, CDB Aviation
• Ruth Kelly, Chief Executive Officer, Goshawk Aviation

Is your company searching for qualified interns? Register your open positions on the ISTAT Foundation Internship Portal today!

In 2018, the ISTAT Foundation Internship Program placed a record 17 aviation-focused university students in positions at ISTAT member companies. The ISTAT Foundation’s Internship Program acts as an intermediary between ISTAT member companies and students seeking aviation internships. Through the use of a web portal, qualified students and employers are able to match the right skills, background and interests with corporate internships. Placed interns who qualify will receive a stipend from the Foundation to cover qualified housing and travel expenses of up to $2,500. Learn more about ISTAT internships.

The ISTAT Americas Business Meeting and Continuing Education for IAP members will take place at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University at its Daytona Beach campus all day on Sunday 10 March 2019. Details to follow.

Certification exams at ISTAT Americas will be held Friday and Saturday (8-9 March 2019) for Appraiser candidates seeking to elevate to ISTAT Certified Appraisers, and on Saturday (9 March 2019) for ISTAT Certified Appraisers seeking to elevate to Senior Appraiser. Details to follow.

A little over six years ago, Engine Lease Finance Corporation Group President and CEO Jon Sharp wrote an article for Jetrader that examined the state of engine leasing. The original article looked back roughly 30 years to trace the industry's development from being a principally OEM product support function into a commercially sustainable short-term leasing business and ultimately into a very sophisticated long-term operating leasing business.

With more than a half decade passing since the original article's publication — a time period that can see massive changes in the industry — Sharp revisits the topic, providing new insights, assessments and predictions, and he offers an assessment of his original prognostications.

Click here to read the article, and be sure to explore the rest of the issue, as well.

Advertising space is now available in the spring 2019 issue of Jetrader magazine. This issue will feature a full recap of the ISTAT Latin America Forum in Lima, Peru, as well as a look back at the ISTAT Holiday Receptions. There will also be a conversation with the 2019 ISTAT Award winner, in addition to the latest installment in the Aviation Insights series, appraisals, ISTAT Foundation activity and aviation history, as well as a host of timely and useful content created specifically for ISTAT's diverse membership.

ISTAT media allows you to enjoy direct and targeted access to more than 5,000 C-suite executives, vice presidents, chairmen, partners, principals, presidents, marketing/sales directors and managers within the global aviation community. Contact istat@istat.org for inquiries.
