The Hustle: Why 600+ Planes Are Sitting Without An Engine
The Hustle is a digital media channel of the Hubspot Media Network of inbound media brands, producing insightful video essays and documentaries about major moves in business, tech and entrepreneurship.
Airlines are scraping perfectly good airplanes — not because they're broken, but because the engines inside them are worth as much as or more than the plane itself. A big part of the problem is time. Engine shop visits that used to take a few months now stretch past 300 days, and when a fleet depends on a tight rotation of engines, every delay cascades into cancellations, wet leases, and higher costs. That's how you end up in a world where a single engine commands lease rates that rival the entire aircraft it's attached to — and where airlines like Air Transat sell their own engines for $85 million just to lease them back. We break down the three colliding forces behind aviation's engine crisis — a massive recall, strained supply chains, and overwhelmed repair shops — and how airlines like Delta are turning the chaos into a billion-dollar business.
