Can anyone shed any light on this. I’ve never really understood it, but how does it work when airline x decides to buy, say, 50 Boeing 737-800s with an option for a further 50? Where does the money come from – just banks or syndicates? And how does the airline pay? Every month (is it just like having, say, a leased car)?
