Lennukiuurendused, or aircraft leasing, is a financial arrangement where a lessor provides an aircraft to a lessee for a specified period, typically ranging from a few months to several years. This arrangement allows lessees, often airlines or corporations, to access modern aircraft without the significant capital investment required for outright purchase. The lessor, usually a financial institution or a leasing company, owns the aircraft and is responsible for its maintenance, insurance, and depreciation.

There are several types of aircraft leasing arrangements. Operating leases involve the lessor providing the aircraft and crew, while the lessee is responsible for the aircraft's operation and maintenance. Financing leases, on the other hand, involve the lessor providing the aircraft and financing its purchase, with the lessee responsible for the aircraft's operation and maintenance. Dry leases involve the lessor providing the aircraft, while the lessee is responsible for the aircraft's operation, maintenance, and crew.

Aircraft leasing offers several benefits to lessees, including access to modern aircraft, reduced capital expenditure, and the ability to upgrade or downgrade aircraft as needed. However, it also has its drawbacks, such as potential loss of control over the aircraft, higher operating costs, and the risk of the lessor going out of business.

The aircraft leasing industry is regulated by various international and national organizations, including the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. These organizations establish standards and guidelines for aircraft leasing arrangements to ensure safety, security, and fair practices.
