Why do leases end in the final year?

[George Bush]

Not sure if this has been discussed but was trying to sharpen my skills in beginner world. Since generally I just bankrupt airlines...... Anyhow is the last year the apocalypse, and announced 15 years prior.... I ask because the whole leases ending in the final year to bankrupt you in the other beginner world was a tad annoying. At least let us lease one year past the end game year so we can finish out growing not exploding.....

..umm? Leases do not end in the final year, but you cannot _extend_ the leases to be longer than the game end year +1 year (or something that way ..don't have the specs here).

ahhh odd I swear in the last game world my airline imploded because I had issues with leases and extending beyond the end of the game, but you would know better than I. Thanks Sami
