Why Ireland?

Irish leasing expertise has grown enormously since the birth of Guinness Peat Aviation (GPA) in Shannon in 1975, creating a deep pool of institutional knowledge. Ireland’s dominance in global aircraft leasing, managing more than 60% of the world’s leased aircraft, stems from a combination of robust governmental support, legal certainty, global connectivity and a dedicated, experienced professional services ecosystem.

Ireland has a global reputation as being the European leader for securitisation and structured finance and has seen sustained year-on-year growth in this sector over the past decade – with SPVs holding an estimated asset value of €1.142 trillion.

• Ireland’s key competitive advantages are, in particular, derived from our following core strengths:
• Strong Regulatory Oversight through the Irish Aviation Authority and Central Bank of Ireland
• Innovative tax regime (corporation tax rate of 12.5%) with a streamlined legal and tax framework
• Enacted and apply the Cape Town Convention for secure asset protection
• Highly Skilled and Specialised Workforce in the aviation and structured finance sector
• Robust support from Government with Targeted Investment Agency Collaboration
