ACMI and aircraft capacity

The lease spectrum

A wet lease provides the aircraft with crew, maintenance and insurance, operating under the lessor's AOC. A damp lease supplies the aircraft and cockpit crew but leaves cabin crew to the lessee. A dry lease is the aircraft alone, operated under the lessee's own certificate. Which arrangement fits depends on regulatory position, timescale and how much of the operation the lessee wants to control.

Short-notice capacity is almost always wet, because it is the only structure that can be stood up in days rather than months.

Why capacity is hard to find

Available aircraft are not published anywhere systematically. Operators with idle capacity rely on brokers and personal networks, and operators who need capacity urgently make the same calls in the opposite direction. The information exists but never meets.

JobAvion lets operators publish available capacity and post capacity requirements in the same place, with the specifics that matter — type, configuration, base, availability window and operating certificate.

What a listing carries

• Aircraft type, registration availability and configuration
• Lease structure offered — ACMI, damp, dry
• Availability window and minimum block hours
• Operating base and positioning flexibility
• AOC details, insurance validity and fleet background

The crew that comes with it

Wet-lease agreements create immediate, short-notice crew requirements. Because JobAvion carries both the capacity market and the professional network, the crewing consequence of a lease surfaces in the same system as the lease itself instead of becoming a separate emergency.
