The key pillars of Aircraft Leasing Ireland (ALI) are global leadership, a single industry voice, sustainability and securing the industry’s future through education and skills. These pillars are the foundation of our work to ensure the continued development and success of Ireland’s aircraft leasing industry.
Ireland is the world’s leading hub for aircraft leasing, with over 64% of the market share. It is unmatched when it comes to talent, skills, innovation, expertise, research and development, and the representation of the major global leasing firms.
Through close collaboration with government and regulators, ALI ensures Ireland remains the heart of this high growth, globally connected industry.
In a complex global industry, a unified voice matters. ALI provides the unified voice for aircraft lessors, engaging with government, state agencies and media to advance industry priorities.
We represent the sector at the highest levels to shape policies that support competitiveness, innovation, and long-term growth. From advancing digitalisation and paperless systems to strengthening Ireland’s role in EU and national aviation policy, our advocacy ensures the industry’s priorities are heard.
By acting as a single voice, we give Ireland’s aircraft leasing sector the strength, influence, and coherence it needs to lead on the global stage.
ALI and its members are committed to driving sustainability initiatives across aircraft leasing and the wider aviation industry. We believe that aircraft leasing can be a force for global growth and social progress, while reducing its environmental impact.
The ALI Sustainability Committee drives our sustainability agenda. Our members are actively engaged in decarbonisation through investment in new technology lower emissions aircraft, sustainable aviation fuels, and new clean technologies, while embedding ESG principles across the industry.
Ireland’s status as a global aircraft leasing hub gives us a unique opportunity and responsibility to ensure that growth and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
Our industry depends on people. ALI is committed to building the talent pipeline that will carry the aircraft leasing sector forward, in Ireland and globally. We support the development of new and existing education and skills programmes across legal, contract management, technical apprenticeships, and more.
In collaboration with colleges, training bodies, and industry stakeholders, we aim to attract and retain the best minds in a responsible and growth-oriented way.
