US CONSIDERS SANCTIONS ON AIRLINES AND AIRCRAFT LESSORS OVER IRAN TIES...
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on September 2, 2026, that airlines could become targets of Washington’s economic campaign against Iran, a day after he named aircraft leasing companies as a sector under review.
SCOTT: Lessors already own the metal. When four names dominate widebodies, your airline’s “fleet strategy” is really a lease-return calendar. Crews feel that as a mix of types and a shorter time on any one of them.
