Acquiring aircraft can come in two forms leasing or purchasing

==Leasing==
Leasing aircraft is the most poplar method of getting aircraft on Airline Empires.

To do so, go to 'Order New Aircraft' or 'Buy Used Aircraft' on the left hand side of your screen:

Depending on what aircraft is available in your current game world's time zone, type of new aircraft you can lease varies. To lease, find your preferred aircraft on the list and next to the name (left) there is a picture of a cart and a clock:

Click on the clock and you will be navigated to the "lease aircraft" page. Select your preferred engine, quantity of order, length of contract, aircraft configuration, IFEs, etc...

Your delivery date(s) will be displayed and your down payment. If these are to your liking, click 'lease aircraft' or scroll down and adjust your settings if you are not happy with it.

If you are leasing used aircraft, simply find your preferred aircraft and click lease plane to the (left) of the aeroplane name. You have no control over engine preference, but it's cheaper leasing aircraft. Select the length of your contract and confirm the lease.

==Purchasing==
Buying aircraft cost more than leasing, but you only pay once (unlike monthly lease charge).

You follow the same process as for leasing, except you select the shopping trolley on this screen instead of the clock:
