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:

 

Ireland's Competitive Edge: Staying Ahead in a Global Market
With Ireland now holding the EU Council Presidency and facing competitive pressure from rival hubs, this session asks what concrete steps are needed to protect and strengthen Ireland's position as the world's premier aircraft leasing and finance jurisdiction.

Industry Leadership Panel: Navigating the Next Cycle
Senior leaders assess the state of the global aviation market, from fleet planning to capital, competition and shifting industry dynamics. This session will deep dive into the opportunities, risks and strategic decisions that will define the next cycle of the industry.

The Future of Flight: The Intersection of AI, Innovation and Sustainability 
Industry leaders debate whether aviation is genuinely accelerating the green transition or simply managing reputational risk. What does real innovation look like at fleet and financing level and how will the convergence of AI, new technologies and sustainable finance define the future of the industry?
