Watson Farley & Williams (“WFW”) is delighted that leading sector publication Airline Economics has named London Aviation & Aerospace Partner Randeep Bubbra in its distinguished “40 Under 40 2025” list, recognising the most outstanding individuals in that age group active in the commercial aviation industry. The “40 under 40” awards celebrate talented individuals within aviation finance and leasing, who are nominated by their peers, colleagues and clients in recognition of their skills and dedication to the industry.
Randeep has advised on some of the largest, most innovative and high-profile finance and leasing transactions in the aviation and aerospace sector for clients including arrangers, financiers, export credit agencies, equity investors, leasing companies and operators. These include acting for Air India and Vistara on their merger, the largest aviation M&A transaction of 2024, and for Bank AlJazira on its Sharia-compliant secured Murabaha financing for Flynas — the first of its kind for the airline.

He is consistently at the forefront of financing in the aviation and aerospace markets and his work is a testament to WFW’s market-leading practice in these areas”.
