AIRCRAFT LEASING

There are numerous situations that inspire the leasing of aircraft under ACMI or Wet Lease terms, some of which include:

• Seasonal capacity increase

• Relief of existing aircraft while under maintenance

• Fleet flexibility

• Bridging time while waiting for new aircraft to be delivered from the factory

• Operational bridging for airlines looking to operate new types of aircraft 

These are just a few examples of the type of situation that merit the acquisition of aircraft under these terms. In fact, this ever-increasing concept continues to evolve every year with new and exciting applications, including some airlines that opt to have their entire fleet operated under ACMI / Wet Lease contracts.

In this respect, Regional 1 Airlines has laid the foundation that will enable us to continue being a leading source for your present and future ACMI / Wet Lease contracts.
We look forward to welcoming you as a new partner! At your convenience, we would be very pleased to meet with you and/or your client to discuss the plans and intentions to future cooperation.

TYPES OF LEASING

WET LEASING

The wet lease of an aircraft is an arrangement whereby the lessor provides at least some flight crew, cabin crew or maintenance personnel. Also known as ACMI (see below).

DRY LEASING

The simple lease of only an aircraft.

DAMP LEASING

A lease with less than a full cabin crew.

ACMI (AIRCRAFT, CREW, MAINTENANCE, INSURANCE)

Wet leasing is also commonly referred to as ACMI leasing:

Aircraft: The type of aircraft being leased (i.e. Dash-8/CRJ). The lessee is usually a little more flexible, than in the case of a dry lease, in terms of which types will be acceptable, due to the relatively short duration of the lease, market availability that all direct aircraft operations are handled by the lessor.

Crew: This will typically include full flight-deck crew and complete maintenance crew. Cabin crew can vary from none to all, depending on the length of the lease, with the most common application to include the lead cabin attendant only. The phrase Damp Lease is also commonly used if the lessee supplies a full cabin crew.

Maintenance: Includes full maintenance of the aircraft, line maintenance, all light to heavy scheduled checks and unscheduled requirements.

Insurance: Aircraft hull and third party liability insurance is commonly included in the ACMI lease contract.
