There is definitely a case for an independent agency to warehouse the leases for big Aircraft carriers and / or facilitate a sale for Boeing and Airbus by taking on a Sale and earning on our books from the Lease to Air India and even private Aircraft. I am probably just shooting from the hip and details can work out to prove or disprove the project.

However, such an agency will make an income stream permanent, serve the national cause with the right budget in the right hole and find an income stream for eithe r Banks / or State companies as a aircraft leasing corporation

Currently 27 aircraft ( Dreamliners albeit not the 8 series) are on oder with Airlines/international agencies using the Sale and Leaseback option for Air India with the carrier paying the rentals. It is definitely convenient for Air india and serves the cause of modernising the fleet. According to DNA, even as the government stands ground , still waiting to approve the deal, 11 aircraft are scheduled into Air India's roster next year for 4500 hours each from Delhi / Mumbai..For at least one return sector per day ( flying 12-13  hours per day)
