Jeff Agur, CEO of business aviation consulting firm VanAllen Group, Sean Lancaster of aircraft brokerage Bristol Associates, and aviation attorney Mark Ringel of HCH Legal will lead a seminar on aircraft asset management next month during NBAA 2018. The presentation will be held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, on October 16 from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Titled “Asset Management for Aviation Leaders,” the session aims to help provide aviation department managers and directors of maintenance the tools and knowledge to effectively manage their aircraft over the ownership cycle. Topics will include obtaining reliable information on the state of the preowned market, understanding the potential impacts of new tax legislation and timing of aircraft transactions, and specific strategies to preserve an aircraft’s value.

According to Agur, the session will hit three main points of aircraft asset management: life-cycle planning, aircraft transactions (both buying and selling), and maximizing aircraft reliability and availability. “We are looking to provide attendees with strategies in various aspects of asset management at the beginning, middle, and end of aircraft ownership,” he told AIN.
