Aircraft Leasing Ireland is delighted to announce the 2026 ALI Summit, taking place on 10 November at the Intercontinental Hotel, Dublin.
This half-day conference will bring together key stakeholders from across the global leasing and aviation industries to ensure the sector remains fit for the future, exploring leasing's vital role as a driver of global growth, economic development, and social connectivity.
As the world’s leading aircraft leasing hub, Ireland plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of aviation, with Irish-based firms managing aircraft worth more than $315bn (€274bn). This accounts for 69% of the value of all global leased aircraft, showcasing the significant reach and importance of the Irish sector, as it remains fit for the future. By remaining fit for the future, Ireland is uniquely positioned to drive the next era of aviation, proactively addressing emerging challenges and seizing new opportunities within a sustainable and resilient global ecosystem.
We are honoured to welcome An Taoiseach Micheál Martin T.D. as our keynote speaker at this year's ALI Summit.
Panel Discussions will include:
