China is expected to be a potential center for commercial planes leasing with focus on local and regional players. In addition, rising air travel rate in emerging economies owing to increasing number of airline companies in the region can boost market growth. Presence of busiest airports in cities, such as Dubai, Beijing, New Delhi, and Singapore, is likely to gain traction among leasing companies for future investments. According to International Air Travel Association (IATA), rapidly increasing air travel rate in developing countries is likely to increase demand for commercial planes on lease in the coming years. Increasing investments by lessors to sign new contracts with airline companies and expand their business can stimulate market growth.

The lessee can purchase four of these planes on delivery. The company is also expected to purchase three Boeing 787-9 aircraft from The Boeing Company.

The lessor is expected to deliver the aircraft to lessee by March 2019. Similarly, the company is also expected to deliver three Airbus A321LRs to Scandinavian Airlines (SAS).
