Yes, but the leases don't lapse when a firm is taken over. Unless a
termination is negotiated, at a considerable cost, the leases will
simply be assigned to the new owners and continue to the end of their
terms.
So the condition of the fleet is important, and whether they are owned
or leased, they remain a liability.
