The fleet owners - firms like International Lease Finance - are asset-heavy companies that buy and insure aircraft from manufacturers (Boeing, Bombardier, Airbus) and lease them to airlines who operate them to deliver people and parcels. They will develop complex pricing structures, just as airlines have done to charge premiums for better seats and extra bags. Suppose for a minute that self-driving cars become commercially available.

Airline crew pairing and composition problem is an area of deep research. For instance, if one of the pilots get sick, the airline still has to run flight by allowing a replacement pilot to take over.
