Commercial Aircraft Leasing: A Global Strategic Business Report

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2013

Follow us on LinkedIn – Purchasing an aircraft is an expensive affair and the long awaiting periods typically associated with their acquisition also makes buying aircraft an unattractive option for airline operators. Also, not all airline companies can afford to fund full expenses of aircraft purchases. Therefore, airline operators have been eagerly exploring the option of leasing aircraft instead of purchasing the same. Also, by eliminating the need to earmark huge capital for purchasing aircraft, aircraft leasing allows airline operators to maintain substantial cash flow for easy management of their operating expenses. Aircraft leasing assures almost immediate delivery of aircraft that too with flexible payment options. Aircraft leasing especially comes as a boon for low-cost carriers with limited capital outlays as the leasing procurement model allows for easy acquisition of new aircraft without having to incur huge capital investments. Another major factor that makes aircraft leasing attractive for airlines is the tax benefit it offers.

Growth in air traffic across the globe, rise in number of new airlines, and increase in demand for new aircraft among new and existing airline operators have helped aircraft leasing to evolve as a mainstream aircraft procurement strategy. Soaring aircraft costs over the years, increasing fuel prices and shrinking profit margins, have also benefited the concept of aircraft leasing. Increase in the number of Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs) is also driving the growth of commercial aircraft leasing market. In addition, increase in fuel costs over the last few years has been driving airline companies to disengage their age old fuel guzzling aircraft models and add new fuel efficient variants to their fleet, thus fueling demand for aircraft leasing.

Growth in the coming years will be primarily driven by developing markets such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East. Growth in Asia-Pacific will primarily be driven by booming aviation sector in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore, China and India. Steady economy, increasing employment, rising disposable income, increased frequency of business and leisure travel are helping drive air passenger traffic volumes, thus offering opportunities for aircraft leasing. Government efforts to scale up airline infrastructure to tap opportunities in trade and tourism by establishing new airports and improving airline operations will automatically translate into increased market opportunities for leased aircraft.
