Making money leasing

[murloc787]

Hey

Does anyone use buying aircraft then leasing them as a supplement to their income? Do the economics of this work for any planes? For example it costs 13 million to  buy an ATR 42, by the time you get that back on its lease price the game will almost be over.

Thanks

Generally, aircraft generate much more income when you operate them yourself.

However, if you have run out of routes and can't expand any further, you can use the extra cash that builds on your company to buy and lease planes to generate even more income.

yea it seems much more viable to fly them instead of lease. Also I'm not sure if I lease a plane, if I'm still able to use it as loan security

You can not use leased aircraft as a loan security.
