Airlines need to be able to effectively manage their fleets and one technique to help them is operating leasing. MDT has arranged operating leases for mainline jets, regional jets and turboprop aircraft and has established a pool of investors who, unlike some traditional lessors, are flexible in their approach and are able to tailor transactions to the airlines needs.

The fleet requirements of airlines are rarely static, changing due to new strategic alliances, market factors and new route developments. A sale and leaseback agreement can be a useful tool and the combination of MDT's industry knowledge and financial structuring skills can assist airlines to maximise sales proceeds while minimising the time required to remarket used aircraft.
