..Why are you still being charged weekly leasing fee regardless? The aircraft should be paid up until the four months are over. Is this a bug?  :-\

you don't make lease payments for the first 3 months... look at your income statement.

Thanks, I see it now. It's just weird... if you view aircraft individually and the route profit breakdown; you see leasing fees being deducted. Kinda confusing, since u would expect/should see 0 there for the pre-payment period of the aircraft. Just my 2 cents.

Those numbers in the lower right are pro-forma numbers including average expenses.  The true profit for prior week is up above...

Yes....   Numbers displayed are to show you all the contribution margin.   Don't think because your planes are all profitable that your airline is.   You need enough green to pay for your back of house staff, marketing and more
