04 Reference
A reference for operators new to ACMI structures. Definition, terminology, and the difference between wet and dry lease arrangements.
ACMI stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance. It is a lease arrangement where one airline provides a fully operational aircraft, including flight crew, maintenance support and insurance coverage, to another airline. The lessee pays based on block hours operated and covers fuel, airport fees and ground handling.
ACMI leasing is widely used by airlines to manage seasonal demand fluctuations, cover aircraft maintenance downtime, bridge fleet transition periods and support new route launches without committing to long-term aircraft ownership.
05 In Practice
An ACMI placement starts with a defined need and a defined timeline. From request to operating aircraft, the path involves the right operator, the right aircraft, the right base, and the regulatory steps in between.
Engagement is direct, the response is qualified, and the focus stays on what makes the lease executable.
06 FAQ
Common questions about ACMI structure, deployment timelines and use cases.
ACMI stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance. It is a standard leasing arrangement in commercial aviation where the lessor provides a complete operational package to the lessee airline.
A wet lease includes the aircraft plus crew, maintenance and insurance. A dry lease provides only the aircraft. The lessee operates it under their own AOC with their own crew and maintenance arrangements. Wet leases are typically short-term, dry leases are longer-term.
Depending on aircraft availability and regulatory requirements, ACMI capacity can be deployed within days for urgent AOG situations or planned weeks in advance for seasonal operations.
ACMI availability covers narrowbody aircraft such as the A320 family and Boeing 737 series, as well as widebody types for long-haul or high-capacity requirements.
