Air Charter and Wet Lease Aircraft Leasing

Air Charter and Wet Lease Aircraft Leasing

By John Routledge


The final chapter in the Airbus A310 story. The production line remains technically open but the aircraft has been largely superseded, such is the march of progress. The final manoeuvres are sad and on the wrong side of profitability.
Cameroon Airlines wet lease an A310-300 from Air Plus Comet in November 1997. It had planned to use it throughout the winter season until the following March, but returned the aircraft on 5 December. On the other side of the African continent, a restructured Air Djibouti began operations with a leased A310-200 on 25 July 1998, serving its main links between Djibouti and Addis Ababa, Cairo, Dar-es-Salaam, Dubai, Jeddah, Johannesburg, Karachi, Khartoum, Mogadishu, Mombasa, Muscat, Nairobi and Rome. The aircraft was returned to Airbus Industrie Financial Services in February 1999.
Egyptian start-up Heliopolis Airlines operated an A310-200 from Airbus Industrie Financial Services in October 1997, but a fall-off in tourist traffic hit the airline hard and the Airbus was repossessed on 30 June 1998. Tunis Air, already an A300 operator, leased an A310-300 from Royal Jordanian between 30 August and 30 September 1991.
Qatar Airways, formed in direct competition with its own national airline Gulf Air, began operations on 20 January 1994, initially using a single ex-Kuwait Airways Pratt & Whitney powered A310-200 leased from the manufacturer. A second ex-Kuwait Airways model followed in June 1994. A network was established linking Qatar's capital Doha with London and several destinations in East Africa and the Indian subcontinent. As services grew, the airline needed larger aircraft and the A310s were returned in February and May 1995. Another local carrier Oman Air has revamped its operations with two exSwissair A310-300s, which entered service in April 1999 on longer sectors from Muscat to the Indian sub-continent. New services to southern Europe and East Africa are being planned.
Luxembourg-based newcomer Solid'air was due to begin operations in spring 1999 with two A310-300s, configured for 232 passengers in a two-class cabin of 28 business and 204 economy seats. Both aircraft are on lease from Lufthansa for a period of five years for planned charter services from Luxembourg to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale in Florida, and to the Bahamas and Dominican Republic. Other Central American and Caribbean destinations will be added.
Airbus built a total of 261 of these aircraft over a 15 year period.

Can Leasing Aircraft the Alternative to Jet Charter

By: Jet Charter
When it comes to obtaining an aircraft for your tours and travels, you will have several options before you.  You may go for the traditional jet charter or you may go for the lease if purchasing outright is beyond your capability. Leasing however, has several aspects and you will have take into account various factors before you go for the lease.  Such issues do not occur in case where you are going for private jet charter by obtaining jet charter quotes.  The lease is something quite different from the occasional charter where you reserve a seat or a few seats for your journey one way or to and fro. 

Aircraft lease –

In case of lease of the aircraft the whole craft is leased out by the lesser to the lessee.  Whereas in jet charters you only get the occupancy of the seats for particular destinations, here you get the full craft at your disposal for a fixed time span.  In return you pay the lesser the agreed rate for the month. 

There are multiple companies who will allow you lease of their aircraft for a certain payment.  Some of them have very large collection of divergent aircraft.  These providers will normally provide you with all required information and the equipments to enable you deciding whether leasing is the right option for you or not. The process is the same for lease of passenger aircraft or cargo ships.

Basic principles of leasing –

Ordinarily it is always the commercial regional aircraft and various types of planes that are leased out.  However the principles underlying the lease are common in most cases. The process of acquiring aircraft by lease is different from the jet charter process and the newcomer to aviation system may find it difficult to follow up everything suitably.  Therefore it may be pertinent for them knowing the decision making process for leasing aircrafts.  They would do well to obtain the guidance and services of some aviation specialist who could guide you through the entire process smoothly.

These specialists are well versed in the trade of aircraft leasing.  They will guide you with topics including the options you have in leasing the aircraft, the requirements of the lesser, and also comparison between various types of leases.  For example the ad hoc lease and the full charter programs would be completely different from outright purchase of the aircraft. One basic question before you would be whether to lease and aircraft or go for the jet charter. The next question would be the source of the aircraft to be procured on lease.

Do not get confused –

Aircraft leasing is a bit complicated process and there is every chance of your becoming confused since there are various types of leasing options open before you.  For example, there are the ACMI lease, Dry lease, Wet lease and Damp lease.  ACMI refers to the four most important aspects of aviation namely A for Aircraft, C for Crew, M for Maintenance, and I for Insurance. Wet lease is one where the aircraft is leased with fuel, damp lease is the one where aircraft is with fuel but without cabin crew and dry lease is one where you are leased the aircraft without fuel.  As ultimate decision maker it is your option to choose the best one among them.
