ACMI means Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance.
An ACMI lease is also known as a Wet or Damp lease. A Wet Lease is a leasing arrangement whereby a supplying airline/AOC holder (named as “Lessor”) provides an Aircraft, full Crew Cockpit and Cabin), Maintenance, and Insurance (ACMI) to a customer airline/AOC holder (named as “Lessee”) which pays by the number of block hours operated.
Compared to a Damp Lease, where the Lessor would provide the cockpit crew only and the Lessee providing their own cabin crew on the leased aircraft.
Damp leasing is useful when a lessee requires additional capacity but has surplus cabin crew of their own. This not only reduces some cost to the Lessee by removing the crew hotel accommodation and crew daily allowances but also maximizes operational efficiency and onboard service (own Lessee cabin staff speaking native language in the country of the Lessee).
Direct Operations Cost (DOC) including but not limited to Ground services ( fuel, airport and handling , catering) and Flight Cost (Overfly charges, permits, other duties and taxes, etc.) are born and paid by the Lessee.
We can source and negotiate for you best Aircraft solutions for your ACMI needs, whatever you are a Lessor or Lessee.
