Hello everybody,

I started AM 1 week ago, i am starting to grow. ;)
I have 1 mil DOP and airline value of 45 mil.

I really like the A319, and would like to buy one soon, but my question is
Does it make sense to lease it? it costs around 4.8 mil a month.

No.

Well, to expand on what czhang said, do you think you could pay back your lease of the A319 with your routes?

well i have leased a fokker 100 which is VERY profitable with 326 000 eur profit a day.

so i guess i can do at least the same amount with the A 319...

Don't be so sure, though. It totally depends on the size of your destinations...

I've fell into that trap my first time to lease.  I thought it would surely work out but I end up taking a few hundred thousand loss each month.

I use leases fairly successfully. But it takes some work to make sure the market is right for them.
