Not quite correct. Jet2 have negotiated a price to buy direct from Airbus. They are now choosing to draw down finance against these assets which will be worth more than what Jet2 paid for them (United would grab these.planes in a breath to fill the Max 10 void). Very different from leasing a A321neo from a lessor. As always Jet2 are very astute when it comes to money
