There is an old curse which says “May you live in interesting times.” Since 2020, the aviation community have been living in ‘interesting times’ and in a time of unprecedented uncertainty. The COVID-19 global pandemic is now largely behind us, but we are facing other uncertainties – environmentally, economically and geo-politically. In times of crisis, business participants seek out established markets; robust structures and credit arrangements and secure and stable legal regimes for certainty and security of outcomes. Ireland is such a location for the aviation sector.
