Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
As lessor, and as of December 31, 2023, the majority of our leases were operating leases with the exception of certain failed sale-leaseback transactions classified as notes receivable or investments in sales-type leases under the guidance provided by ASC 842.
As lessee, the significant majority of leases the Company enters are for real estate (office and warehouse space for our operations) as well as automobiles. These lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Additionally, in 2022, the Company subleased a Willis Mitsui & Company Engine Support Limited (“WMES”) engine to a third party, with WMES as the head lessor. Under ASC 842, the Company recognized a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $4.9 million and a lease liability of $4.9 million for this lease during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Leases with terms of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of the Company’s leases include variable non-lease components (e.g., taxes) which are not separated from associated lease components (e.g., fixed rent, common-area maintenance costs, vehicle protection plans and other service fees) as elected under the practical expedient package provided by ASC 842.

The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of approximately one to 14 years, some of which include options to renew or extend the lease term from one to five years. Our automobile leases include an option to purchase the vehicle at lease termination. The depreciable lives of assets are limited by the expected lease terms, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The exercise of lease renewal options or purchase at lease termination is at the Company’s sole discretion. If it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options, the periods covered by such options are included in the lease term and are recognized as part of our ROU assets and lease liabilities.
