Flyward has appointed Konrad Blocher as Chief Executive Officer, marking the next stage in the company’s growth as it continues to expand its Aircraft Finance Intelligence Suite.
Konrad brings almost 20 years of experience across aviation finance, strategy, risk and portfolio analytics. Throughout his career, he has worked across aircraft investment, leasing and analytical modelling, bringing a strong understanding of how technology and data can support better investment decisions.
He joins Flyward as the company continues to grow its customer base, develop new analytical capabilities and strengthen its position within the aviation finance and leasing industry.
Flyward entered the market in 2025 with the aim of reducing the time, complexity and manual effort involved in analysing aircraft investments. Since then, the company has established its first commercial relationships, partnered with Airline Economics+ and mba Aviation and continued to develop its platform across maintenance forecasting, transaction pricing, portfolio analysis and integrated AI tools.
Having already had the opportunity to use Flyward before joining the company, Konrad saw a platform that closely aligned with his view of how aviation analytics should evolve: more connected, flexible and efficient.
Under his leadership, Flyward will focus on expanding customer adoption, strengthening industry partnerships and continuing the modular development of its platform.
