ABL AVIATION ATTENDS AIRLINE ECONOMICS GROWTH FRONTIERS LONDON 2026

ABL Corporation is pleased to share a summary of its aviation subsidiary’s participation at Airline Economics Growth Frontiers London 2026, held from 8 to 10 September 2026 at the Royal HorseGuards Hotel, London. One of the most respected forums in aviation finance and leasing, the conference gathered senior decision-makers from across the global aviation community to examine the dynamics, challenges, and opportunities shaping the sector. 

Through ABL Aviation, ABL Corporation maintained an active presence throughout the event, engaging with airlines, lessors, financial institutions, and asset managers across a programme covering fleet finance strategy, lease rates and valuations, capital markets activity, aircraft trading and remarketing, and the broader market cycle outlook. The insights and relationships developed over the course of the conference will continue to inform ABL Corporation’s strategic approach to aviation investment, aircraft lifecycle management, and long-term partnership development.

40 Under 40: Recognising the Next Generation 

A defining highlight of the week was the Airline Economics 40 Under 40 Awards Dinner, held at the Banqueting House, Whitehall, an evening ABL Aviation was proud to sponsor as part of its ongoing commitment to championing the next generation of aviation talent. 

ABL Corporation is proud to share that Carlos Garcia Merino, Chief Operating Officer of ABL Aviation, was among the winners of the Airline Economics 40 Under 40 Class of 2026. The recognition speaks of the culture ABL Corporation has built across its aviation operations, one that invests in people, creates opportunity, and supports long-term professional growth. In Carlos’s own words: 

“ABL’s culture is about fostering young talent like myself and with all the opportunities that I have had during my time at ABL, from the beginning to where I am now as Chief Operating Officer of the company. I think it’s evidence for every young individual that there are opportunities, there are windows, and you can grow.”      

— Carlos Garcia Merino, Chief Operating Officer, ABL Aviation

Also representing ABL Aviation at the gala were Gavin Fernandes, Lee Naicker, and Ritwik Sen, joining Carlos for what was a proud and memorable evening for the wider ABL group. 

ABL Corporation thanks Airline Economics for the continued quality of this event and for the platform it provides to recognise and celebrate the talent shaping the future of the global aviation industry.
