Episode notes
In this episode of Flightpath with Alok, we hear from Kishore Korde, executive vice president at Air Lease Corporation (ALC), an order-book lessor, principally engaged in purchasing commercial aircraft for the purpose of leasing them to airlines, worldwide. Kishore joined ALC soon after it was founded in February 2010 and is a clearly recognisable figure within the leasing fraternity. At ALC, Kishore’s responsibilities are many, including; the successful management of all South Asian lessees; controlling lease relationships with several international airlines across the globe; creating aircraft placement strategies, and assisting ALC's lessees in their fleet planning. Kishore also has extensive experience in drafting and negotiating aircraft leasing and aircraft trading transactions. Prior to ALC, Kishore was with International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), considered, at the time, to be the largest aircraft lessor in terms of book value and quickly became Managing Director for ILFC’s India business. Kishore is fluent in three languages and has basic skills in two more. He holds Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Laws and Masters in Business degrees, all from the University of Mumbai, India, a Juris Doctor degree from Emory University and a Master of Laws degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Kishore speaks with Alok about how he found himself in America as a young man, and how he got his first break helping enter a world of aviation. Kishore shares some of the successes and insights he has picked up through the course of his varied and interesting career and why those just starting out on their career paths may benefit from giving aviation a look.
