April 22, 2023 - AerLink Ltd, developer of AABS InfoHub, the aviation financing industry’s first-ever information destination specifically focused on the needs of holders of Aviation Asset-Backed Securities, is pleased to announce that Mark Davies has joined the company as Chief Technology Officer. In this role, Mark will oversee all technology aspects of the company including the development of AABS InfoHub solution, currently planned for launch in Q3 2023.  

“Having significant experience in software development, technology leadership, aviation financing and the aviation industry overall makes Mark the perfect match for AerLink to realize our AABS InfoHub vision,” says Sanjaya Krishna, AerLink’s COO. 

“Mark has worked on numerous AABS financial models and has a deep understanding of the frustrations investors currently experience in evaluating the risk and performance of their AABS holdings,” says Finn Mulligan, AerLink's CEO.

Davies adds - “I believe in the vision that AerLink has to bring transparency to holders of AABS as well empower them to gain more insight into their holdings through robust data and technology-enhanced modeling capabilities. I am excited to join Finn and Sanjaya and to lead the development and launch of AABS InfoHub.” 

January 9, 2023 - Seattle-based AerLink Ltd and leading aviation consultancy IBA have announced a formal agreement for data from IBA Insight to power AABS InfoHub.

AerLink’s AABS InfoHub, launching in Q3 2023, will be the aviation-finance industry’s first ever information destination, specifically focused on the needs of holders of Aviation Asset-Backed Securities (AABS). 

InfoHub will be powered by cutting edge aviation data from IBA Insight, the most advanced aviation intelligence platform on the market. IBA Insight unifies a vast database of fleet, valuation, and flight transactions along with other notable events into a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use platform.

“IBA Insight data contains the kind of robust information on commercial aviation assets that’s key to understanding AABS values. AerLink’s AABS InfoHub will incorporate IBA’s industry-leading data to bring a new level of transparency and modeling capabilities to AABS holders, helping them identify risks, monitor cash flow performance, and better value their holdings,” says Finn Mulligan, AerLink’s CEO. 

“IBA Insight gives the aviation finance community comprehensive and accurate data on the commercial aviation sector. So AerLink’s mission to use IBA Insight data to bring efficiencies - specifically to the world of AABS - was a natural fit with IBA’s own broad vision for how data can transform commercial aviation,” says Jack Ambrose, Head of Sales – Americas at IBA.
