Firms that heavily rely on operating leasing are active in a very limited number of sectors. They are mainly airlines, shipping firms, or railway companies. This chapter covers a list of major bankruptcies among US airlines since September 2001. It presents a list of airlines that ceased operations in 2019. Mortgage loans are a popular tool amongst airlines. They represent a simple financing option. The chapter summarizes the risks and opportunities that financing airlines represents. Tax leases are also a traditional source of funding for airlines. Despite the simplicity of mortgage loans and the existence of alternative corporate funding options, operating leases have become over the years the most popular financing instrument for airlines. The chapter also presents a comparison of a selected number of airlines that went bankrupt and the average number of days needed to repossess an aircraft. It shows the list of the world's largest lessors ranked by number of aircraft.
