MRO Americas April 2026 Forum for Asset Finance & Supply Chain Strategy
Recently at the MRO Americas event in Orlando, AVIAN CEO/ Founder Ian Gurekian took to the stage to discuss how AVIAN is leading and innovating by providing customized Capital Solutions for pools of valuable aerospace inventory.
Ian pointed to three keys points on how capital solutions can further grow in the market to assist MROs, Airlines and OEMs with their supply chains.
Buffer Stock: Due to the current uncertainty and delays within the supply chain, companies are forced to invest in, and warehouse buffer stock to be able to deliver for their customer demand. Buffer stock is an extremely inefficient solution and is more like having “money sitting on shelves.”
Working Capital Squeeze: Many companies across aerospace are in need of incremental working capital to funds growth, both current and predicted growth of the global aviation sector.
Asset Investability: Financial institutions over time and cycles have become extremely comfortable with investing and dealing with aircraft and engines as valuable, high quality investable assets. Firms like AVIAN are at the forefront of educating financiers and creating win-win deals for aerospace companies (OEMs, Airlines, MROs++.)
