Gondry began her current role in October 2023. She previously served as head of client success and in other management roles for the IBA Group, an aircraft appraiser and industry data research company, where she worked for eighteen years.

MUFG has funded aviation investments for more than thirty years. The group expanded its financial services to the Americas in 2016 before acquiring DVB Bank’s aviation finance division in March 2019.

Fintech Aviation Services was formed in 2004. In addition to providing consultation services, the company supports customers in the commercial and business aviation sectors with fleet delivery, audit and appraisal services.

The aircraft appraisers will discuss:

• How long will regional operators pay a higher price for older, limited conversion feedstock? To what extent is the Iran war changing the calculus?;
• Are higher maintenance costs decreasing the value of older freighters amid continuing supply chain and new production aircraft constraints; and
• Projected values of conversion feedstock over the next three to five years.
