The firm’s professionals bring analyst and executive-level experience from airlines and consulting firms; with hands-on management expertise from leading companies along with leading analytics and highly level creative thinkers.

IAG consists of a team of professionals based in the United States and Europe, serving clients worldwide. IAG's team is small but extraordinarily productive and prides itself on its thought leadership. Please see our blogs as evidence.

IAG's clients hold the firm in high regard - here is an example - "As an investment analyst who does not specialize in the aviation industry, IAG's blog and regular podcasts have given me a competitive advantage in my analysis. With your help I have been able to capitalize on the financial market's inability to correctly analyze the severity of a program's problems." It is the firm's mantra that we take special care of clients.

IAG also provides a range of advisory services to corporate and financial clientele through its consulting work with the Gerson Lehrman Group.
