From smaller regional freighters to large wide-body cargo planes, there is a need for various aircraft types to accommodate different cargo volumes and transportation distances. Due to this diversity, leasing companies offer a wide portfolio of aircraft options to cater to the specific needs of cargo operators. In 2023, the UAE government issued a license for electric cargo aircraft. This license reflects the UAE's commitment to sustainable development and its proactive approach to embrace innovative solutions. These advancements in electric cargo aircraft are set to drive the growth of cargo deliveries, facilitating efficient, eco-friendly, and economically sustainable transportation of goods.

Thus, to manage the increasing cargo transport via air, airlines such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian, Etihad Airways, and Gulf Air rely on aircraft leasing for fleet management. For instance, in May 2023, Emirates SkyCargo wet-leased two 747-400Fs to add capacity to manage the fleets and increase cargo activities. Thus, rise in aircraft leasing activities by drives Middle East & Africa aviation leasing market players, drives the growth of market.

According to IATA, Middle Eastern airlines experienced an increase of 43.1% in traffic in March 2023, and Africa saw a rise of 71.7% in the same period. As the traffic grows, the airlines need a greater number of fleets to handle the increasing air traffic. In addition, the procurement cost of new aircraft is very high; hence, airlines lend aircraft from the aircraft leasing companies to trim the operating cost. For instance, in May 2023, LIFT, a South African airline, signed a lease agreement with AerCap to procure an Airbus A320-200 for its fleet and route expansion plans. The key market players in the aviation leasing market include Sahara African Aviation, Sofema Aviation Services, Air Charter Service, and Novus Aviation Capital.
