It’s easy to do business with Air Universal . The Aircrafts
are offered on a Full Charter basis or, more frequently, on
an ACMI basis.

A full
charter lease is a simple method whereby lessor all

calculated by dividing the full charges over the
configuration of the A/C .

ACMI lease

Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance.
ACMI stands
for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and insurance. The lessor
(Air Universal) provides the aircraft, one or more
complete crews – including technicians if necessary – all
maintenance for the aircraft, and insurance for the
aircraft as well as third party liability. We usually
require a guaranteed minimum number of hours to be flown
each month – which effectively means that the client is
guaranteeing a minimum payment equal to the hourly cost
multiplied by the guaranteed utilization – regardless of
whether he reaches that utilization or not .
The lessor provides/pays for:
-
Aircraft .
-
Qualified flight crews ( an additional hourly charge
will be levied if a complete cabin crew is required ) .

Wet Lease
|
Aircraft and Crew
/ to AOC holders only.
A wet
lease is the lease of an aircraft including its crew. So,
in reality, it is an ACMI lease .
-
Dry Lease
|
Aircraft only / to
AOC holders.
A dry lease is the lease of the aircraft only . In this
case, we provide the aircraft and the lessee has to
provide everything else. However, we need to make sure
that the client is fully capable of operation the aircraft
to our stringent standards, so we tend not to do this very
often .
Dry leased are normally charged at a fixed monthly rate,
plus hourly charges for maintenance reserves. They are
normally for periods of at least six months .
Wet and dry leases are only available to other airlines
holding valid Air Operator’s Certificates and the required
route a civil aviation have to honor authorities-all other
companies who have to charter in aircraft . |
