Technical and Commercial get both right and your business can really fly Uncertain Times – Aircraft Repossession Planning For the last 20 years, IBA has been actively involved working on behalf of Receivers, Export Credit Agencies, Banks, Lessors and Investors in order to manage aircraft during default periods and to repossess all types of aircraft in most regions of the world. Every case is different in terms of ease of process. Key factors are the location and completeness of the aircraft and its records, the goodwill of the airline’s employees, the cost of return-to-service with another operator, and the ease with which the assets can be remarketed. Early lease returns, retirement of older aircraft and repossessions are inevitable with the current market situation and IBA provides a turn-key service covering all aspects of repossession from contingency planning through to return-to-service.
