History of Global Leasing Day
The day was initiated by AviaAM Leasing, a Lithuania-based aviation-leasing company, on its anniversary in 2017.
Initially centered on the aviation leasing sector, the day has since grown to include leasing professionals from finance, real estate, vehicle rental, and more. It’s now a day for recognizing the often behind-the-scenes people who help move business forward by managing assets that are not bought outright.
Why is Global Leasing Day important?
Leasing is one of those business mechanisms that quietly powers industry, infrastructure and mobility—but doesn’t always get the spotlight. On this day I think about how leasing helps companies get the equipment they need, expand fleets, and free up capital that might otherwise be locked in ownership.
It also reminds us that behind the contracts, payment structures and assets are real people: brokers, lessors, lessees, maintenance teams, regulatory supporters—each playing a role. Acknowledging that network builds connection, professionalism, and a deeper understanding of the leasing sector’s global impact.
- It honors leasing professionals across industries worldwide

- It emphasizes the global dimension of leasing—assets and contracts crossing borders
- It raises awareness about the innovations and challenges within the leasing world
- It gives a chance to appreciate an often-overlooked link in business infrastructure
