Extend or Return?
Extend
• Good deals to be had, especially on widebodies, given demand and fit out costs.
• Gap between current and next generation kit has narrowed, slowing adoption
• Still a big decision driven by a complex balance of rates, costs, reserves and demand.
Return
• Last minute = bad news and/or big fees
• Two years planning
• How to replace/where’s it going
• What can I avoid paying for
• What do I get next – engines, IFE
• Not a lesson in each side shafting the other
• In fact the opposite is true, doing the right thing = a better deal and more choice.

Recent examples
Start up airline
• 8 year lease
• Marketing and sales 95% of management time
• Lease docs literally shoved in drawer and ignored
• 6 months out – nowhere near return conditions, gears and engines late to MRO at peak time of year (Winter)
• Big prob for both parties – late delivery penalty, high costs for each side
• Lessor fails to deliver to next lessee on time.
Medium airline
• Great tech team, but focus on up, not back.
• Focus on the day to day difficult to change
• Sufficient volume to really hit core operations.
• We are seeing moves for this size of airline to realise limitations and outsource to specialists
Large airline
• Some might say arrogance
• Assume strong commercial strength will mean lessors will concede
• Probably the worst at collating records, mods and repair files if various tech depts. are spread over a large area.
