About IAA

Since IAA was founded in 1999, we have advised some of the world's largest airlines, banks and aircraft finance/leasing investors. We are committed to providing independent aviation consulting, as well as our powerful AI-based analytical tools for lease pricing, forecasting and risk management.

William Loh has three decades of multi-cycle aviation and risk analysis experience. As Senior Aviation Analyst, he has advised senior managers up to the Management Board at Deutsche Bank regarding the future prospects for several high-profile investments and transactions. IAA has advised lessors, lenders, insurance companies, and private equity firms about strategy, risk and models. Earlier in his career, he worked on yield management models for Lufthansa in Frankfurt, and in corporate planning for one of the first LCCs (Florida Express). He has pioneered the use of AI-based simulation models in this market 20 years ago, and created an innovative aircraft future value forecasting model, as well as an operating lease pricing model based on all relevant parameters.

We've added a potential shortfall in the maintenance reserve account (at the future sale of the aircraft) to the simulation code in the lease pricing model, so this AI-based method provides a distribution of IRR outcomes as a function of the shortfall amount.

Bill's understanding of aviation has been enhanced by ASEL and glider pilot ratings, as well as over 200 hours in airliner, fighter and helicopter flight simulators. From the B747 to the F-16 to the E-2 Hawkeye, Blackhawk and Apache, this has been a massive education. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of Florida, and qualified as a U.K. registered Securities Representative in London.

Our chief IT developer, Laszlo Karolyi, has decades of real world experience building secure applications based on Django web servers, using Python, C++, JavaScript, SQL, and many other languages.
