2 Dear Colleague: Big changes are in the wind for Canada s aviation industry. To stay ahead in the evolving world of aviation finance, we invite you to join leaders in our industry and their advisors on November 14 & 15 at the Canadian Airline Investment Forum in Toronto. Back for its 25th year, this one-of-a-kind conference features a number of new speakers and updated content and offers an unrivalled platform for interactive discussion. Financiers and aircraft operators will benefit from learning what new deals are being offered, what terms are demanded, what structures are favoured and how risk is being managed. With the industry experiencing a shift from traditional financing to new products, some of the questions to be addressed include: How are lessors, lenders, ECAs and manufacturers arranging financing for 2013 and beyond? What is developing as capital markets solutions, operating leases and ECA financings are compared? In what ways will the ratification of the Cape Town Convention in Canada encourage investment in Canadian aviation? Insight Information has organized an outstanding event that includes an expert faculty featuring senior executives from, WestJet, Transat A.T., Canadian North, and Air Georgian and representatives from the world`s leading aviation banks, aircraft lessors and aircraft manufacturers. Join our faculty of experts and a large group of your peers for a unique opportunity to explore the crucial relationships between airlines, manufacturers, financial institutions and investors and learn how innovative strategies are being employed for greater growth and profitability. We encourage you to attend the major aircraft and airline finance event in Canada where you can network with the leaders in the industry and have your questions about the industry s current and future direction answered. We look forward to seeing you there! DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER FACULTY: Thomas F.
