aviation leasing

Aviation leasing involves companies or financial institutions providing airplanes to airlines through lease agreements instead of outright purchase. This allows airlines to access modern aircraft without large capital investments, offering flexibility to adjust fleet sizes and upgrade technology. Leasing companies own the planes and earn rental income, while airlines benefit from lower upfront costs and maintenance flexibility. There are different types of leases, such as operating leases (short-term, with returns to the owner) and financial leases (long-term, resembling ownership). This system helps keep the airline industry agile and financially manageable.
