lease types

Aligning Leases to Missions

BusinessJets

Dry Lease

A dry lease provides the aircraft without crew, maintenance, or other operating services. It can offer greater operational control for organizations that already have the resources and expertise to manage the aircraft.
BusinessJets

Wet Lease

A wet lease provides an aircraft together with operational support, typically including crew and other agreed services. It can be a practical solution when you need aircraft access without establishing or expanding your own flight operation.
BusinessJets

Operating Lease

An operating lease can provide access to an aircraft for a defined period without the long-term commitment of full ownership. It may be suitable for buyers seeking flexibility while limiting exposure to aircraft resale and residual-value risk.
