Dry Lease Solutions

Flexible aircraft leasing arrangements designed to maximize operational efficiency and financial performance. Access the aircraft you need without the complexities of ownership.

Understanding Dry Lease

A dry lease (also known as an operating lease) is an aircraft leasing arrangement where the lessor provides only the aircraft itself, without crew, ground staff, supporting equipment, maintenance, or insurance. The lessee assumes operational control and responsibility for the aircraft during the lease term.

This structure offers maximum flexibility and control while providing access to aircraft without the capital requirements and long-term commitments of ownership. It's ideal for airlines, charter operators, and corporations seeking to expand or optimize their fleet.

Flexibility

Scale your fleet up or down based on operational needs

Capital Efficiency

Preserve capital while accessing modern aircraft

Operational Control

Full control over operations, crew, and maintenance

Key Benefits of Dry Lease

Strategic advantages that make dry lease an attractive alternative to ownership

Financial Flexibility

Avoid large capital outlays and preserve liquidity. Predictable monthly payments improve cash flow management and financial planning.

Rapid Deployment

Access aircraft quickly without the lengthy process of purchasing. Ideal for seasonal demand, route expansion, or fleet replacement.

Balance Sheet Benefits

Operating leases may offer favorable accounting treatment, keeping aircraft off the balance sheet and improving financial ratios.

Risk Mitigation

Transfer residual value risk to the lessor. Exit strategies are more straightforward than aircraft ownership.

Fleet Modernization

Regularly upgrade to newer, more efficient aircraft without the burden of selling older assets.

Tax Advantages

Lease payments may be fully deductible as operating expenses. Consult with tax advisors for specific benefits.
