Headquartered in the UK, IBA has been hired by the world’s leading banks, lessors, investors, airlines, and aircraft and engine manufacturers to help improve efficiency, and support strategic decisions.
The company has established a solid reputation and earned the trust of the industry’s major players thanks to its seasoned team of aviation professionals. As an independent full-service consultancy, IBA is able to offer its clients the combined benefits of sector expertise, a unique data platform, and hands-on management of aircraft. IBA advises the leasing community on all matters relating to aviation and currently has over one hundred aircraft under service management contract.
By allowing customers direct access to its vast pool of industry data and technical expertise, IBA is able to consistently deliver intelligence that adds value and promotes the sustainability of operations across the industry.
The CFI.co judging panel agrees that with Boeing and Airbus predicting a global skyline navigated by some ten thousand airlines, the need for independent data-based consultancy services is set to increase significantly. IBA is well poised to benefit from this surge in demand. The judges are pleased to offer IBA the 2017 Best Aviation Advisory Firm United Kingdom Award.
