With more than twelve years or experience in the leasing sector, Alexander will join World Star Aviation Senior Adviser Mylene Scholnick to discuss:

• 737-800 feedstock availability as newer passenger aircraft production continues to ramp up;
• The challenge of securing engines, parts and support; and
• The resilience of 737 Classic freighters.

Alexander became CMO at Hamden Aviation in September 2024 while also serving as executive vice president of the leasing company until May. She was senior vice president of leasing and financing for Flight Lease Group before joining Hamden.

Hamden entered the freighter segment providing CFM56-3C1 engines and support to carriers operating 737 Classics before building a lease portfolio with these aircraft types.

The Hamden, Conn.-based lessor participated in a joint lease deal with Dallas-based Petrus Aviation to place another 737-400SF (25106, ex-ASL Airlines) with Brazil-based Total Linhas Aereas in early 2025.
