Think ACMI might work for you but unsure exactly what’s involved? Read on for our comprehensive guide to this flexible leasing solution.

什么是ACMI?

ACMI代表飞机、机组、维修和保险. ACMI租赁主要有两种类型:湿租赁, when a supplying airline (the lessor) provides all four of these elements to a customer airline (the lessee); 和 damp leasing, 当承租人提供自己的机组人员时. 这两种情况, the lessee pays by the number of block hours operated 和 arranges its own ground services such as fuel, 搬运及配餐. ACMI leases generally last up to 12-18 months 和 are a cost-effective alternative to buying a new aircraft when faced with issues such as:

• 季节性需求
• 测试新路线
• 维修延误
• 新飞机交付延迟
• 人员短缺
• AOG

为什么选择ACMI?

ACMI租赁对承租人和出租人都有好处. The lessee benefits from extra seasonal capacity without investing in the longer-term commitment of dry leasing or purchasing extra aircraft. An ACMI lease also gives them the flexibility to choose the aircraft type, 最适合他们需要的作业时间和路线.

另一方面, the lessor can capitalise on counter-seasonal dem和 from other regions, allowing them to optimise their fleet 和 generate year-round revenue without worrying about incremental costs like fluctuating fuel 和 currency, ground h和ling charges 和 passenger delay compensation liability.

ACMI租赁的类型

• 短期: 不可预见的紧急情况，如飞机停飞, 船员疾病, bad weather 和 strike action can disrupt an airline’s schedule for days, 因此，运营商需要迅速采取行动，尽量减少延误. A short-term ACMI lease allows airlines to outsource the affected schedule whilst maintaining continuous service across the rest of their operation.

• 长期: Longer-st和ing leases provide prolonged use of an aircraft without the financial commitment 和 overheads of a dry or operational lease. Long-term leases are an ideal solution for testing new routes 和 markets, 满足季节性需求, 并涵盖因计划维修而造成的服务中断, 租约延期货, 飞机交付和机组人员培训.

• 货物: 在这个前所未有的时代, cargo leasing allows airlines to meet increased dem和 for freight capacity without dry leasing or buying additional aircraft, 类似于客机租赁. Contracts can be arranged on a monthly or annual basis as needed 和 our team of leasing experts can source a wide range of specialist cargo aircraft as well as auxiliary freighters.

ACMI的替代方案

• 干租赁: 只涉及一架飞机(没有机组人员)的, 维修或保险), dry leases are a cost-effective alternative to ACMI longer term. The lessee adds the aircraft to its air operator’s certificate (AOC) 和 provides aircraft registration, 但它提供了自己的船员. 干租赁协议通常至少持续两年, 这取决于折旧等因素, 维修及保险.

• 混合租赁: 也被称为CMI (Crew), 维修及保险), hybrid leases involve the client’s aircraft being dry leased to an operator, 然后谁带着船员把它湿租回给客户, 维修及保险. Hybrid leases are a great solution for airlines that have sufficient aircraft capacity, but need to outsource operational support due to factors like crew shortages 和 strike action.
