About Event

The ISTAT Americas Conference 2026 is one of the most significant global gatherings for aviation finance, leasing, asset management, and investment professionals. Organised by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading (ISTAT), the conference brings together senior executives from airlines, lessors, financial institutions, OEMs, MROs, legal advisors and technical experts to engage in high-level discussions shaping the commercial aircraft market.

Hosted at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, the 2026 conference will feature a comprehensive programme of panels, keynote sessions and structured networking opportunities.
