McDonnell Douglas DC-9 ACMI Leasing Options

Flex Air Charters affords personalized McDonnell Douglas DC-9 ACMI leases for frequent travelers. ACMI leasing options allow aircraft owners to maximize their McDonnell Douglas DC-9 by leasing it while it’s not in use in order to cover upkeep payments. McDonnell Douglas DC-9 ACMI lease options permit owners to lease their aircraft on a temporary basis for three months to more than a year.

The McDonnell Douglas DC-9, a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner, which entered service in 1965, was designed for frequent, short flights. Leasing, perfect for travelers looking to avoid the financial risks of owning an aircraft, allows lessors to walk away from a lease without enduring severe depreciation losses when they sell or to renew their contracts with a new McDonnell Douglas DC-9. The Flex Air Charters aircraft leasing team provides a variety of options for ACMI (aircraft, crew maintenance, and insurance), wet lease, or dry lease solutions.

A McDonnell Douglas DC-9 ACMI lease also allows owners to test out the aircraft before committing to a purchase. It also permits frequent travelers access to an aircraft regardless of whether their usual McDonnell Douglas DC-9 is grounded or unavailable. Flex Air Charters ensure businesses stay on track during peak periods and guarantee airlines aircraft for new routes.

ACMI solutions are the perfect solution for startups, new route studies, seasonal or sudden increases in demand. Leasing contracts between airlines include the aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance (ACMI) and the lessee covers the hours of operation of the McDonnell Douglas DC-9. The lessee also meets fuel and airport costs, as well as overflight charges, duties, and taxes.

Flex Air Charters guarantee full ‘turn-key’ solutions for the lessor and lessee during ACMI leasing agreements to ensure personalized solutions. The Flex Air Charters team is on hand to provide a detailed assessment of the route and position, as well as the McDonnell Douglas DC-9 after an initial inquiry.

Dry leases deliver the aircraft to a lessee or certified charter operator with no extras and do not include the crew, ground staff, supporting equipment, maintenance program or insurance plan. Dry leases are used by leasing companies and banks and the lessee must obtain an Air Operators Certificate (AOC) and registration for the McDonnell Douglas DC-9. The owner will transfer possession of the aircraft to the lessee and will no have operational control of the aircraft.

Wet leases do not necessitate the transfer of possession of the McDonnell Douglas DC-9. The lessor provides the aircraft with a complete crew or cockpit crew, maintenance, and insurance to the lessee, who covers the hours of operation, as well as fuel, airport fees, taxes and any other duties. Wet leases traditionally last for one month to two years.
