FACTBOX-Fleet of over 100 jets operated by troubled Thomas Cook

The fate of over 100 passenger jets and contracts with almost 40 leasing companies are tied up in last-minute talks to prevent a collapse of British travel group Thomas Cook. The group operates a fleet of 85 Airbus jets and 31 Boeing jets, or a total of 116 aircraft based across Europe, according to data from UK-based aviation consultancy IBA.

All except 5 are leased from a total of 38 leasing companies or investment vehicles led by top names in aviation finance. One of the aircraft, an Airbus A330, doubles as a reserve aerial refuelling tanker for the Royal Air Force and is leased with a crew from UK defence industry consortium Air Tanker.
