Ishka Trading Summit: Midlife, Engines & Parts

20 May 2026, Conrad Dublin

Get technical and connect with the midlife market

Our 4th Ishka Trading Summit is our forum dedicated to dealmaking around midlife and end-of-life assets. Connecting engine lessors, aircraft asset managers, MRO shops, operators and more – it is a must attend for those looking to maximise returns in this highly complex portion of the value chain. 

Given the relatively high returns possible in this sector, it is also an opportunity for our investor community to gain an expert insight into the highly technical, but lucrative side of the industry. Expect candid and nuanced insight from leading expert speakers, key decision-maker attendees and hear directly from investors in the asset class across our expertly crafted agenda.

We're known for curating boutique, dedicated events for the key industry players – meaning Ishka Dublin is where decisions are made and deals get done.
