There isn't even now... one of the new players can't find a manufacturer to make them engines.

Takes a lot of money to build the engines, get them approved by the a/c manufacturer and the FAA, make and sell spare parts, etc.
There is also a power-by-the-hour concept in the industry... so you have to own the hardware to lease it out.
