AOG Wet Lease Services
An AOG Wet Lease refers to an aircraft lease agreement where an airline with an active operating license leases an aircraft on ACMI terms from another airline that also holds an active operating license and has an available aircraft.
AOG Wet Lease occurs when an aircraft becomes a NO GO (unable to operate) shortly before the scheduled departure time, typically due to technical issues, and the airline is unable to replace it with any of its own aircraft. In such cases, a Wet Lease is initiated to cover the affected flights. Initially, this lease is put in place to prevent passenger inconvenience due to one or more canceled flights. If the technical issue with the scheduled aircraft is resolved, the lease is terminated, and the airline resumes its regular operations. If the technical issue is not resolved, the airline will seek a Short-Term Wet Lease to continue operations until the issue is fixed.
Wet Lease agreements are generally conducted on ACMI terms. In some cases, depending on applicable conditions and regulations, Wet Lease agreements may also be conducted on AMI terms.
An airline that leases out its aircraft on Wet Lease terms is required to provide the following ACMI services to the leasing airline:
ACMI: An acronym for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance.
– A (Aircraft): The leased aircraft must have a valid airworthiness certificate.
– C (Crew): The leased aircraft must be operated by pilots and flight attendants who are licensed and qualified for the aircraft type. Additionally, the crew must be sufficient in number, according to the flight hours.
– M (Maintenance): Maintenance and repair services must be provided for the leased aircraft, with qualified technicians who possess the necessary license and equipment, whether routine or non-routine.
– I (Insurance): The leased aircraft must be insured with a valid policy that complies with international civil aviation regulations, covering the required areas and limits.
