The growing volume of air passenger traffic is anticipated to drive the expansion of the aviation asset management market in the coming years. Air passenger traffic refers to the increasing number of individuals traveling by air, supported by rising global mobility, the recovery of tourism, and the expansion of airline capacity. This upward trend is occurring as airlines across the world serve more passengers annually, necessitating larger operational fleets and more effective asset management, maintenance planning, and lifecycle optimization services to maintain aircraft availability and reliability. Aviation asset management supports this growth by offering services such as maintenance scheduling, leasing supervision, fleet optimization, and lifecycle management, which are essential for accommodating higher passenger volumes and reducing aircraft downtime. For example, in January 2025, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a Canada-based air transport trade association, total full-year passenger traffic in 2024 increased by 10.4% compared to 2023, with international traffic rising by 13.6% and domestic traffic growing by 5.7%. As a result, the rise in air passenger traffic is fueling the growth of the aviation asset management market.

Major companies in the aviation asset management market are increasingly focusing on the introduction of aviation leasing platforms to gain a competitive advantage. Aviation leasing platforms serve as online marketplaces or systems that facilitate the leasing of aircraft, connecting airlines or operators with lessors who offer aircraft for short- or long-term rental. For example, in May 2024, Hanwha, a South Korea-based developer of high-value-added technologies, launched the Hanwha Aviation leasing and trading platform. Supported by Hanwha, this new platform is capable of executing both single-asset and large fleet transactions while reducing execution risk for leasing customers and trading partners.
