TO TOP Airstream contributes to ERA
Regional International Airstream International Group limited was recently asked to contribute to the “Airline and Aircraft Finance” section of the Journal of the European Regions Airline Association. The article was published in the December issue of Regional International. The article describes how high quality advisors can add considerable value to regional airline customers, not only with regard to aircraft finance, but also with regard to acquisition and disposal of principally used aircraft and short-term fleet capacity needs. Such services can, amongst other things, save valuable senior management time, provide independent third party expertise only when it is needed and which is not always available internally. This type of support can reduce costs for regional airlines vastly in excess of the expense. Airstream has been an active member of the ERA for several years.
