What is Aircraft Leasing?
Aircraft leasing is a financial arrangement in which airlines or operators lease aircraft from lessors rather than purchasing them outright. This practice allows airlines to access a fleet with lower upfront costs and greater flexibility, adapting to market demand without the long-term commitment of ownership.
