I was wondering about aircraft leases. I know when it comes to ordering new planes from the manufacturer airlines pay a deposit and such, but I was wondering, when an airline signs a new lease agreement, do they have to pay a fee up front, or do they just take the aircraft and pay monthly or quarterly?


I did a search and couldnt find anything, so if this is just a repost of another thread, please point me in the right direction..


Thanks;
