To the point people are trying to make about how waiting for the first plane would impact a new airline, in reality you cannot just get a fresh off the line airplane. You either buy a used plane, place orders for new planes, lease planes that are immediately available, or some mix of the three.
Beyond that, I agree with Chi that there might need to be some kind of cap on the wait to keep someone from having to wait a year for their planes (we're limited since the game will move in real time, not accerated time).
That said, the additional benefit of the waiting time is to encourage people to buy different airplane so you don't have what you did in CA where everyone flocks to the same planes and as a result about 80% of airlines have identical fleets.
