There will be the time when some of us have fleets that are so big that you can’t handle them properly. Maybe there could be a Leasing-Feature where you can offer aircrafts to other players for a daily or weekly rate. It would be a nice feature to generate revenue for players with big fleets and it might help new players to have a kind of kickstart. The rate should be limited by a minimum and maximum price to prevent cheating. What do you think?

I was scrolling through, This idea should be brought back! I think it would be cool, I’m probably never gonna buy a fleet so leasing or renting a Aircraft could be a great idea for new players. Let’s say @SainsburysVan leases out a ATR it would be set automatically at Half Price, Someone can take up that offer and they start using it, a quarter of the Revenue earned from @SainsburysVan ATR would be given to @SainsburysVan (I’m gonna stop using the @ feature.) So the player that leases the ATR would be getting 3/4 of the flights revenue. As @RudiMentaer75 said earlier, Let’s say I am playing at INN and I find a ATR in IAD, Well that can’t work. At each airport you have a different selection of aircraft from real players, or just Aircraft that an airline like BA doesn’t need. Sure, this can take a while to make and it may also not be in the game at all, but This idea was kinda hard to let slide.

That is the most I’ve ever been tagged in a message on the entirety of Discourse… Sounds good if I’m getting revenue from @RudiMentaer75 because… Oh boy I’d be rich!

This feature could be perfectly integrated with the used planes market. For ex. you use plane upto 3/4 of its lifespan and then you can decide to sell used or lease out for some extra profit. The latter option would work great for planes which are worth 0 gold planes after all checks, to squeese a bit extra profit out of them

Dont be so sure you wont get your own fleet, i thought the same when i started the game and saw A/C prices. But some time later, a few airport in from INN i started buying BAe, which quickly morphed into A320s, and further 787s
Dont be so pessimistic

That can be true, though I would fly a fleet I just don’t have time for a fleet. And @DuneCrawler the person Leasing wouldn’t be paying for Maintenance the person who leased it would be paying maintenance,

@SainsburysVan sorry for tagging you so much lol.
So, the “lease-company” would really bite the dust here, if the payout would be like you proposed:
When you consider that 20% of the planes value goes to maintenance, the “lease-company” will only get 5% of revenues.
… kinda unfair

Could you explain that? I tried to reply but quickly realised i had my whole logic incorrectly 
20% of the revenue i meant. That is what was explained in the maintenance schedule.
>>read al about it<<
So when 20% of the revenue is going to maintenance, and the “lease-company” only gets 25% of revenue, the sum is not that difficult.
Income 25%
Maintenance: -20%
Revenue: 5%

What I meant is the player that since, @SainsburysVan gave up a plane to @RudiMentaer75, @SainsburysVan pays for the maintenance,

If Jamster is the owner of the plane and he leases the plane out to RudiMentaer75. And Jamster has to pay the 20% maintenance and “only” gets 25% of the revenue than Jamser will only have an effective revenue of 5%.

I know, i edited but realised even then waht i wrote didnt make much sense

Yeah. @SainsburysVan leasing should work with a system akin to wet leasing IRL. The airline that is using the plane pays for use of plane (fuel, airport fees, maintanance etc…) while the planes owner provides just crew and planes services (both of which are irrelevant in WoA)
