Interview question: How do you compare the two following companies

Hi, I was asked how I would quickly compare two air plane companies (ie Air Canada, Air Transat, etc). One company owned there fleet and the other rented their fleet.

I suggested comparing the Company who owned their fleet's EV/EBITDA to the other Company's EV/EBITDAR.

Now I was a little confused how I would actually go about doing this. I am not sure how I would calculate the rental Company's EV value... should I capitalize their rent expense?
