Thanks to everyone we met during Aviation Week Dublin 2026, clients, partners, and new connections. The week was busy and energising with valuable conversations across finance and aviation leasing.
Here are some recurring themes from the event:
Key Themes from the Week
1. Growing demand for fast, accurate financial insight
Leaders need quicker, clearer data across assets and portfolios; “faster close, cleaner data, clearer visibility” was a common refrain.
2. Data fragmentation continues to slow reporting
Multiple systems for assets, records, contracts, and finance complicate analysis and slow monthly cycles. Industry focus remains on consolidation for 2026.
3. Increasing workflow complexity
Expanding approvals and audit requirements are driving teams to automate and streamline financial processes to avoid additional administrative work.
4. Unified reporting is increasingly important
Boards want consistent performance data from all systems. Finance remains central for regulatory/statutory reporting, making modernised reporting solutions a priority, without replacing systems.
5. Tighter timelines as portfolios grow
Supply chain issues persist, but portfolio activity is high. With resources unchanged, there’s a push for automation to optimise time and boost clarity.
A message from our CEO, Karl O’Leary
“As the industry addresses challenges such as supply constraints, technological innovation, artificial intelligence, and data fragmentation, it is evident that actionable insights are more critical than ever. Core’s Aviation Suite enables finance teams to operate with comprehensive, unified information, facilitating clear and confident decision-making. Use data once, maintain analysis integrity, be compliant.”

We’ve prepared a short one‑page summary of the themes and challenges raised throughout the week.
How the Core Aviation Suite Supports These Themes
Across the week, these themes pointed to a common challenge: finance teams need cleaner data, simpler processes, and clearer reporting, without additional workload. The Core Aviation Suite is built to support exactly that, working alongside existing systems to bring structure, visibility, and consistency across the finance function.
Supporting faster, more accurate financial insight
Unified structures and consistent master data reduce manual work and enable clearer visibility across assets, contracts, and portfolios.
Reducing fragmentation across systems
Master Data Management and Infor SunSystems’ unified ledger bring asset, contract, and finance information together, improving consistency, reducing duplication, and supporting stronger reporting.
Simplifying and automating complex workflows
Integrated approvals, audit trails, and automated processes help reduce administrative effort as organisations scale and controls increase.
Enabling finance‑led, unified reporting
Infor SunSystems’ analysis capabilities provide a strong reporting foundation, feeding clean, reliable data across systems for a consistent organisational view.
Helping teams do more with the same resources
Role‑based dashboards, automated workflows, and centralised data help teams focus on high‑value work, not repetitive tasks.
