Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies Aircraft Acquisitions In April 2025, the Company entered into a supplemental agreement with Boeing to purchase five incremental 737-8 MAX aircraft scheduled to deliver in 2031. In June 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Airbus to cancel future orders of seven A350F aircraft. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had contractual commitments to acquire a total of 228 new aircraft from Airbus and Boeing for delivery through 2031, with an estimated aggregate commitment (including adjustments for anticipated inflation) of $13.4 billion. The following table shows the Company’s contractual delivery commitment schedule as of September 30, 2025:
|  | Estimated Delivery Years |  |

(1) The Company’s Airbus A320/321neo aircraft orders include 13 long-range variants and 49 extra long-range variants.
(2) The table above is subject to change based on Airbus and Boeing delivery delays and reflects aircraft deliveries based on contractual documentation and production adjustments as communicated by Airbus and Boeing through November 3, 2025. The Company’s contractual delivery commitment schedule is subject to a number of factors outside its control and the Company cannot guarantee delivery of any particular aircraft at any specific time notwithstanding its contractual delivery commitment schedule.
Pursuant to its purchase agreements with Airbus and Boeing, the Company agrees to contractual delivery dates for each aircraft ordered. These dates can change for a variety of reasons, however, for the last several years, manufacturing delays have significantly impacted the planned purchases of the Company’s aircraft on order with both Airbus and Boeing. The Company has agreed to revised contractual delivery dates for its Airbus and Boeing aircraft. As of the date of this filing, Airbus and Boeing have generally met the revised delivery dates, and when delayed, the delays have been generally one or two months. However, going forward, delivery delays beyond the revised delivery dates could increase as to the number of aircraft delayed and/or the length of delays. The FAA continues to enforce a cap on Boeing’s 737 MAX production until quality control issues are resolved, although the production cap was increased modestly in October 2025. The broader aviation supply chain remains constrained impacting production capacity for both Airbus and Boeing and resulting in delivery delays. The aircraft purchase commitments discussed above could also be impacted by cancellations. The Company’s purchase agreements with Airbus and Boeing generally provide each of the Company and the manufacturers with cancellation rights for delivery delays starting at one year after the original contractual delivery date, regardless of cause. In addition, the Company’s lease agreements generally provide each of the Company and the lessee with cancellation rights related to certain aircraft delivery delays that typically parallel the cancellation rights in the Company’s purchase agreements. Changes to tariff policy in the U.S. and the reaction from the U.S.’s trading partners has resulted in trade policy uncertainty and an escalation in trade tensions, resulting in significant market volatility. In April 2025, the U.S. imposed baseline tariffs on all countries and individualized higher tariffs on nations with which the U.S. assesses that it has the largest trade deficits, while retaliatory tariffs by other countries, such as China and Canada, have been imposed on U.S. products and goods; however, aircraft and aircraft parts were generally exempted. In August and September, 2025, the U.S. government implemented trade frameworks with the European Union (the “E.U.”), the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) and Japan that allow for the importation of aircraft and aircraft parts into the US duty free. Generally, Boeing aircraft manufactured in the U.S. and delivered to customers in other countries may be subject to tariffs; however, the trade framework with the E.U. the U.K. and Japan preserves the zero tariff regime on Boeing and Airbus aircraft and parts imported into the U.S., the E.U., the U.K. and Japan, respectively. As of the date of this filing, the Company has no aircraft placed for delivery from its orderbook that are expected to be subject to currently announced tariffs. As of September 30, 2025, approximately 1.6% of the Company’s aircraft by net book value are on lease to lessees located in China, and the Company does not have any scheduled future aircraft deliveries to Chinese airline customers. The Company’s leases are primarily structured as triple net leases, whereby the lessee is responsible for all operating costs including the costs associated with the importation of aircraft. The Company’s lessees are generally obligated to pay such tariffs to customs authorities. If lessees are unwilling or unable to assume such costs, it could have an adverse impact on demand for commercial aircraft or result in lease cancellations for those of our customers whose aircraft delivery has been delayed by over one year and who hold lease cancellation rights. Commitments for the acquisition of these aircraft, calculated at an estimated aggregate commitment (including adjustments for anticipated inflation) of approximately $13.4 billion as of September 30, 2025, are as follows:
Years ending December 31, | (in thousands)
2025 (excluding the nine months ended September 30, 2025) | $ | 1,010,393 |
2026 | 3,377,218 |
2027 | 4,053,750 |
2028 | 2,651,709 |
2029 | 1,944,251 |
Thereafter | 345,126 |
Total | $ | 13,382,447 |
The Company has made non-refundable deposits on flight equipment purchases of $1.1 billion and $0.8 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which are subject to manufacturer performance commitments. If the Company is unable to satisfy its purchase commitments, the Company may be forced to forfeit its deposits and may also be exposed to breach of contract claims by its lessees as well as the manufacturers.
