Leasing Prices

[Air Tycho]

500.000 for 737-300's? That's really cheap!

And is HAMPO really offering DC-3's for 500.000 right now? I haven't seen prices dip under the 1 mil mark!

[Daemonfly]

Yeah, all these people leasing out a plane at half it's cost aren't gonna get any business from me. Why should I lease a plane that would cost me it's full price after only 2 months? I'll just buy a new one.

In the last age, 1-1.5 million was the norm, but every now and then...

As for now, I don't know if he has anymore.  I saw them and grabbed them.  I don't see much point in paying more than that.  

[CornField]

500k is what I have my DC-3's at.  They don't stay on the market long at that price.
I had about 75 MD-87's at 1 mil last round and they stayed pretty much leased out.

[Hampo]

it's my duty as an official broker to offer cheap aircraft  :shock:  

[Air Tycho]

Go HAMPO! Any chance you'll be offering some cheap Martin 202's or Avro Tudor's soon?

I see dktc's prices at 800.000  :shock:

[dktc]

I see dktc's prices at 800.000  :shock:

Still roughly 25~30% below market price, and your rate is half the cost of the planes :wink:

and what's the point of leasing a plane for 3 months  :?

 a lease should have a minimum commitment of 1 year and a fine for breaking it

1.5M for a DC-3 is ok i think.
If the leasing in companies are having large profit, why dont leasing out companies make that profit by putting planes on routes?

because they are too lazy to manage the routes every day changing the prices to fit competition.

I made approximately  300mil euro a month last round leasing.  So about than 12.5 mil a day DOP without having to reset my nearly 500 routes over and over again.  NA was full of people who had nothing to do other than sit in front of their computers and reset routes all day,

Lazy had nothing to do with it.  12 mil a day in DOP that competition can't stop.  Yeah, sure that's lazy.  Any wonder why some of us were still climbing the rankings at the end of last round.  I stopped ordering aircraft the entire last year, wasted a bunch of cash on terminals, overpaid for 50 or so aircraft to have some of the out of production ones and still had roughly 3/4's of my 50 billion plus value in cash.

And some of us actually have the obligation to lease out planes

For me, it fits 2 things, 1) to evaluate how well a certain plane does, and 2) to help have a plane to fill in for routes while waiting for new ones to get delievered (if the rates are decent for me). There are also pretty short leases on planes in reality too. I did read about a fine for returning a plane early being put into the game in future rounds.
