What is ACMI leasing?

ACMI stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance.

Depending on where you are in the world, the definition of ACMI may differ slightly. The International Air Transport Association (IATA)  focuses on the Wet Lease element – a lease where the Lessor provides an Aircraft with Crew, Maintenance and Insurance. The aircraft is operated under the AOC of the Lessor.  Meanwhile, according to the FAA, ACMI is “any leasing arrangement whereby a person agrees to provide an entire aircraft and at least one crew member”.

Our aircraft leasing division offers a wide scope of options for customers looking for ACMI, wet lease, damp lease or dry lease solutions. So no matter where you are in the world, we can help.

What are the benefits of ACMI?

Seasonality is a global challenge for all airlines when it comes to the management of aircraft capacity and costs connected to crew, calendar maintenance and insurance.  Airlines may see their passenger numbers differ by as much as 700% between August and February.

Other factors that can have a negative effect on your bottom line include aircraft groundings and industrial action.

ACMI leasing offers an adaptable solution, providing speed and flexibility in capacity management and is focused on customer satisfaction. Also, buying, operating and crewing a new aircraft can put pressures on an airlines current finances that ACMI can alleviate.
