Global Aircraft Leasing market is projected to reach the valuation of USD 473.6 million by the year 2026 by growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period 2020-2026.

An aircraft lease is a contract between three parties: A lender (providing funds to the leasing company), the leasing company (owner of the aircraft) and the lessor (the operator). For the leasing company, its cost of capital must at least be covered by the rent it receives from the lessor.

The simplest way is to lease an aircraft from a leasing company. A contract is established between the lessee and the lessor over a tenor and at an agreed monthly rental fee. The aircraft remains on the lessor’s balance sheet, can be depreciated, and is generally paid by debt. The asset does not appear on the airline’s balance sheet. Lessors typically make monthly or quarterly lease payments. At the end of the contract – which is typically four to eight years – the airline returns the aircraft to the leasing company. This method offers the most flexibility to fleet adjustment for the airline. The possibility of adding a call option exists.

Increased airline revenues, liquidity flexibility in global capital markets and relatively low oil prices help create a favorable climate for the aviation leasing industry. The fact that recent bankruptcies by airlines have not had a significant detrimental impact on the sector further indicates resiliency. Some of the aircraft impacted is noticed instantly, and issued to other airlines. Although air transport is a cyclical business, the cycle's dominant growth phase seems more protracted than in the past and shows no signs of slowing down, and the industry remains attractive to investors.

In recent years the market has been overwhelmed with fresh funding, which has reduced lease prices and the subsequent profits. Compressed margins can serve as a leading indicator of the expansion phase's approaching end, but most market players expect the expansion to continue.

Flexibility for aircraft operations is the major driver for the global aircraft leasing market

Commercial aircraft lease is a legal arrangement availed to airlines and other aircraft operators offered by leasing companies. Its main advantage is it provides flexibility to lessen the financial burden on the airline's balance sheet while procuring new aircraft or adjust capacity over shorter terms. Because of the relatively low default rate and stable returns in an otherwise low-yield environment, attractive opportunities emerge in aviation financing. Cash is flowing into this sector as the leasing industry provides solutions for the sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, banks, or private equity to allocate large amounts of capital efficiency and safely.

Wet Leasing Type is expected to the drive the market growth

Although the economic reasons for leases are common to all businesses in all industries, there are specific business purposes for why an airline may choose wet leasing. The main reason to lease is capacity. By making use of wet-leasing, airlines are capable of increasing capacity temporarily. This is a big advantage, particularly for commercial airlines, but charter jet operators may also find themselves in need of extra capacity. Usually, the leased aircraft can be used for the very short notice, sometimes as little as three hours, to cover short or medium transportation needs. This ensures smooth operations during peak traffic periods and can help to cope with planned or unanticipated maintenance checks or to test new routes.

Asia Pacific expected to witness significant growth in the market during the forecast period

The Asia-Pacific region has been and will continue to be the most dynamic region in the world. The economic development in India and China leads to the rapid development of a middle class that is the primary driver of air traffic growth. And with an increasing population in the region, the market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
