09:25 Infrastructure support to facilitate Japan’s inbound and outbound travel 

With the Japan Government planning to boost the inbound and outbound travel figures to 60 million in 2030, many challenges remains. How will airport facilitate the increase in air traffic? What is the Government’s plan to diversify the destinations of the tourists from abroad, which currently tend to concentrate in the three big metropolitan areas: Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka?

Ongoing high demand for capital in the aircraft finance market is increasingly attracting the interest of institutional investors seeking asset-backed investments with attractive returns. 

With Japanese investors that have built up expertise in aircraft are looking for new products, how can we better understand the desire for institutional investors to gain greater access to the aircraft asset class?s Will the asset-backed securities (ABS) market be an area of interest?
