Aircraft leasing plays a critical role in the global aviation industry, providing flexible options for operators to access aircraft without the significant upfront cost of purchase. There are three main types of leasing models:
1. Dry Lease
This model provides the aircraft without crew, maintenance, or insurance. The lessee is responsible for operating the aircraft and covering all associated costs. This model is ideal for airlines with existing infrastructure and regulatory approvals.
2. Wet Lease
A wet lease includes the aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance. It is often used for short-term capacity needs or when an airline faces operational constraints such as seasonal demand spikes.
3. ACMI Leasing
ACMI stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance. This model is commonly used for international operations or airlines seeking quick fleet expansion without long-term commitments.
