Commercial Aircraft Leasing in the US

Commercial aircraft lessors went through a turbulent period amid the pandemic as the downstream airline industry was hit hard. Even so, aircraft leasing is profitable and lessors saw growth for most of the period. As vaccinations skyrocketed and regulations lifted, air travel slowly came back and lessors picked up from where they left off. Overall, industry revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% over the five years to $12.5 billion, including a 2.3% rise in 2023 alone. Profit will also remain strong as lessors are able to charge premiums because of their services.

This industry leases commercial aircraft to scheduled airlines and to other commercial carriers. The carrier (lessee) pays the industry operator (lessor) for use of the aircraft over a given time period, typically a few years. This industry does not lease noncommercial aircraft, such as military helicopters or recreational jets.
