This Tuesday, November 4th, the Shannon International Leasing Conference (SILC) returns to Dublin for its 10th annual gathering, bringing together senior figures from the aviation leasing and technical services sectors. Held at the InterContinental Hotel in Ballsbridge, SILC 2025 promises a day of insightful discussions, expert presentations, and valuable networking opportunities.
The conference is known for its media-free environment, encouraging open dialogue among professionals from airlines, lessors, MROs, and aerospace suppliers. With Ireland managing a significant portion of the world’s leased aircraft fleet, SILC continues to be a key event for the global aviation community.
