Aircraft Leasing

A dry lease involves leasing an aircraft  without crew, maintenance, or insurance (ACMI). It is ideal for airlines or operators who already have an operational structure and certifications in place.

• Long-Term Fleet Planning
  Ideal for expanding or renewing fleets with medium- to long-term commitments.
• Lower Operating Costs
  More cost-efficient than ACMI leasing for established operators who manage their own crews and maintenance.
• Greater Operational Control
  The lessee maintains full control over crew scheduling, maintenance planning, and operational decisions.
• Custom Branding
  Aircraft can be painted and configured according to the airline’s livery and onboard product standards.
• Asset Flexibility Without Ownership
  Airlines access aircraft without the financial burden and risks of ownership, such as depreciation or resale value.
• Supports AOC Holders
  Only available to operators with a valid Air Operator Certificate (AOC), enabling direct integration into their existing structure.
• Potential Path to Ownership
  Some dry lease agreements include purchase options, offering a future transition to ownership.

A damp lease is a variation of wet lease where the lessor provides aircraft, maintenance, insurance, and flight crew, but cabin crew is provided by the lessee.

• Balanced Operational Control
  Combines the convenience of ACMI with more control over the passenger experience via your own cabin crew.
• Cost Efficiency
  Typically less expensive than full wet lease due to reduced crew provision.
• Brand Continuity
  Your own cabin crew allows for consistent customer service and onboard branding.
• Short- to Medium-Term Use
  Ideal for covering temporary needs while maintaining partial integration with your own operations.

• Operational Flexibility: Scale your fleet seasonally or as needed without long-term commitments.
• Lower Initial Investment: Pay only for aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance.
• Maintenance & Insurance Included: Managed entirely by the ACMI provider.
• Access to Specialized Aircraft: Use the right aircraft for specific markets without purchasing.
• Short-Term Contracts: Ideal for temporary operations, charters, or seasonal peaks.
• Focus on Core Operations: Airlines concentrate on commercial strategy, leaving fleet ops to us.
• Scalability: Easily increase or reduce your fleet capacity.
• Improved Profitability: Lower fixed costs, reduce risk, and enhance margins.
• Route Expansion: Test or open new routes without high capital expenditure.
