In this episode of Aviation Leaders, in conversation with Joe O’Mara, Head of FS Tax at KPMG, John Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Azorra, discusses the company’s focus on the 100–150 seat aircraft market and its global portfolio of 153 aircraft across 41 countries, serving 35 airline customers.
John highlights the strength of airline demand, particularly in Southeast Asia, and explains how geopolitical risks have been managed through bilateral negotiations with customers and partners. He also examines the impact of ongoing supply constraints at the OEMs, which have driven a significant increase in lease rates for in-demand aircraft.
The conversation explores Azorra’s strategy of balancing new and used aircraft, securing MRO capacity, and using engine leasing to support airline customers. Looking ahead, John shares a cautiously optimistic outlook for 2026, underpinned by continued growth in the Asia-Pacific region and sustained demand for mid-sized narrowbody aircraft.
