In this episode of the Time on Wing Podcast, Ian Gurekian of AVIAN Inventory Management shares insights from his career spanning aviation consulting, aircraft leasing, and investment finance. The conversation explores the dynamics of helicopter leasing, the impact of aircraft groundings on investors, and the evolving need for innovative capital solutions in the aviation aftermarket.

Insights from Ishka Aviation Investival and Airline Economics Growth Frontiers highlight a market defined by investor confidence amid persistent supply-chain constraints. Engine delivery delays, MRO capacity shortages, and rising repair costs continue to shape aircraft and parts values. As capital remains abundant, AVIAN notes that access to both financial and operational capability will define success through the next phase of aviation’s recalibration.
