'''Buying Aircraft'''
Buying aircraft is the most expensive method of getting aircraft but it is also the best way to keep your profit rating up and if you do not think you can afford monthly leasing payments this is the best option.

*Find the aircraft you would like to purchase and click the [[file:purchase.png]] icon. For the purpose of this tutorial i will be using the A320.
*The next screen is the engine selection screen. This screen is very important to your decision as it may be the deciding factor if your aircraft has the range to get to an airport or whether or not it can takeoff or land on the runway, so choose wisely!<br/>

**Entering the number of aircraft you would like to order.
**Picking the seat configuration the aircraft should arrive with.
**When the first aircraft should arrive.
**If you would like addons i.e winglets
<font color=red>'''Remember: When you purchase an aircraft you pay 50% of the price immediately and the other 50% when you receive it. If you cannot afford the latter when the aircraft is due for delivery it will be postponed!'''</font>
