Long Term

Airlines turn to Long-term ACMI leasing as it is an effective solution to a planned requirement and period of time, whilst not holding the lessee (client) to the longer term financial commitments and overheads of a dry or operational lease.

This measured approach is ideal during strategic expansion, when testing new routes and markets, seasonal demand or for start-up airlines as leasing a jet avoids significant up-front investment in aircraft, crew, maintenance, all with minimal financial exposure.

Airlines can also look to use ACMI leasing when forecasting maintenance schedules, lease deferrals, aircraft deliveries of their existing fleet and crew training. All of which have the potential to face lengthy delays and operators can forecast such and plan the provision of ACMI aircraft in advance coverage of their schedule with minimal operational and service disruption.

Our ACMI Leasing team has considerable aircraft charter and lease management experience going back four decades, whether its providing aircraft for cross regional leasing, wide bodied aircraft for the Hajj pilgrimage, regional aircraft on PSO routes or peak summer holiday demand, Chapman Freeborn has your requirement covered.

We have airline partners worldwide due to our extensive regional office coverage across six continents, its through this global network of operators and local relationships that we source aircraft in advance for planned requirements to supplement aircraft fleets and to improve fleet efficiency during seasons.
