Airline Economics Aviation 100 Awards are globally recognised as the preeminent annual awards for the aviation finance and leasing industry.
Now in their fourteenth year, Airline Economics is celebrating its legendary Global Leaders Aviation 100 awards during the Growth Frontiers Dublin conference in January 2025.
The Aviation 100 awards evening is a very special occasion where we celebrate all of the very best companies, individuals and transactions in the aviation finance and leasing sector that have excelled during the past year.
The Aviation 100 top ten rankings include: Airline of the year, Aircraft of the year, CEO/Industry Leader of the year, CFO/Treasury Team of the year, Lessor of the year, Bank of the year, MRO of the year, Law Firm of the year, Appraiser of the year and Parts Supplier of the year.
The Aviation 100 Deals of the Year reward the most outstanding and innovative financial transactions closed by airlines, manufacturers and leasing companies in 2024.
Award categories include: Lease Deal of the Year; Supported Finance Deal of the Year; M&A Deal of the Year; Equity Deal of the Year; Capital Markets Deal of the Year; Debt Deal of the Year; Structured Finance Deal of the Year; Editor’s Deal of the Year for Innovation; and Overall Deal of the Year.
The Aviation 100 winners and rankings are chosen by a combination of industry surveys, nominations, and the Airline Economics Awards judging panel. The Aviation 100 Deals of the Year are decided solely by the judging panel.
Each year, the Aviation 100 Global Leaders awards also include the Face of Aviation and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Face of Aviation is awarded to the individual that has made a significant contribution to the aviation industry during the past year.
The Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates the life and work of one significant individual over the course of their career in the aviation finance and leasing industry.
In 2024, Aviation News launched a new Aviation Legends awards series that celebrates the life and work of many aviation professionals that have retired, or announced their imminent retirement from the industry in the previous year.
The Aviation 100 Aviation LEGENDS are chosen via a nomination process and are determined by editorial discretion.
