The global Aviation Leasing Market Size was estimated at USD 244.69 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 408.24 billion by 2034, growing at a steady CAGR of 5.25% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2034.
Driven by surging global passenger traffic, fleet modernization, and airlines’ increasing preference for asset-light business models, aviation leasing is becoming an integral part of the commercial aviation ecosystem. Market growth is further fueled by the rising demand for fuel-efficient aircraft, expansion of low-cost carriers, and favorable leasing regulations.
Key Market Drivers
• Growing Global Air Passenger Traffic
Post-pandemic recovery and increasing disposable incomes are driving robust air travel demand across emerging and developed economies.
• Airline Preference for Asset-Light Models
To reduce capital expenditure and maintain financial flexibility, airlines are increasingly opting for operating leases rather than outright aircraft purchases.
• Fleet Modernization and Efficiency
Airlines are leasing newer, fuel-efficient aircraft to meet stringent emission standards and reduce operating costs.
• Expansion of Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs)
Rising demand for affordable air travel is boosting the growth of LCCs, which heavily rely on leased aircraft for flexible capacity management.
• Attractive Tax and Regulatory Structures
Supportive leasing frameworks in key hubs like Ireland, Singapore, and Hong Kong continue to strengthen market opportunities.
