I can tell you this from personal experience these leases are as close as you can get to real life. some are more realistic than others for the lease let’s take a Boeing 737-400 for example. in the game the monthly lease alone is about $345K without insurance and maintenance. in real life the lease for a Boeing 737-400 costs 75K a month (comes down to $2500 a day for the plane) but more so depends on the airline and how much the lessor trusts them. (most 737’s are on the high side for monthly lease) but let’s take the failed eastern airlines start up for example. They were paying for a used 737-700 about 850k and month.(I don’t remember the exact numbers) and then the brand new 737-800’s they leased they were paying 900K+ a month and all that is without insurance and their horrible pencil whipping mechanics they had.
