Aircraft Wet Leasing - ACMI
Over the years aircraft leasing has gone through many changes and so today the terminology may not always reflect the service provided. In the U.S. for instance, Wet lease use to mean, quite logically, 'including fuel'. To our knowledge, generally only a charter service will include fuel in the price. Today, ACMI, Damp and Wet Lease are interchangeable and a rate quoted will usually not include cabin crew (except for the legal requirement of a supervising purser). The need to wet lease in aircraft is an issue that most airlines face at some point in their operation. The need can be for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:
Wet leasing can also be a very efficient interim solution for an airline which is seeking to obtain its own AOC. An interim wet lease can ensure that the airline meets its deadlines for the commencement of operations whilst it continues to process its own AOC application. Aerobraz is able to source suitable aircraft for this purpose and to identify airline partners that might assist new airlines to become operational in their own right in a shorter period of time. There are many circumstances when you have a requirement for an aircraft and usually "Time" becomes your greatest enemy and it is for this reason that our service is provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by our multilingual experts who have constant contact with aircraft providers from around the world.

Dry Lease
Is the lease of the basic aircraft without insurances, crew, maintenance etc. Usually dry lease is utilized by leasing companies and banks. A dry lease requires the Lessees to put the aircraft on his own AOC and provide aircraft registration. A typical dry lease starts from two years onwards and bears certain conditions as far as depreciation, maintenance, insurances etc. are concerned. This depends on the geographical location, political circumstances etc. There is generally two types of dry lease, an Operating Lease and a Finance Lease. Operating Lease: generally a lease term that is short compared to the economic life of the aircraft being leased. An operating lease is commonly used to acquire aircraft for a term of 2-7 years. With an operating lease the aircraft doesn't appear on the Lessees balance sheet. Finance Lease: also known as a capital lease, is defined when on of the following conditions are met at the end of the lease term the LESSEE has the option to purchase the aircraft at an agreed price.
With a finance lease the aircraft appears on the Lessees balance sheet, as it is viewed as a purchase. Still have questions? Please contact us anytime! We look forward to hearing from you. 954-394 3601 info@aerobraz.com |
