AIRLINE START-UP

Greatest influence over, are your airline management team and capitalization. These two
Elements are essential ingredients to get right if your airline is to survive & flourish.

Airport Development and Consulting
In addition to our Airline Consulting, we offer input into Airport Development as well as
recommendations and installation of an appropriate A.O.D.B system (Airport Operating
Database management System). This professional input is rendered mindful of all the
prevailing factors which have a bearing upon the airport, including but not limited to:
AIRCRAFT: PURCHASE or LEASE
Many factors influence the decision process but basically these can be broken down into
three main areas:
Aircraft Usage
Seasonal variations in aircraft capacity (such as summer vs. winter or holidays like Hajj
etc.) can obviously cause issues, either not enough aircraft in summer or too many planes
in winter! One way to overcome the shortfall in aircraft during the peak seasons is to
utilize an ACMI lease agreement for the extra aircraft. If the airline has too many aircraft,
The LESSOR provides the aircraft, one or more complete crews (flight deck, cabin
attendants and engineers) including their salaries but usually not their daily allowances,
all maintenance for the aircraft and insurance, which usually includes hull and third party
liability. The LESSOR will charge for the block hour (choc off to choc on) and
depending on the aircraft type, sets a minimum guaranteed block hours limit per month.
If the airplane flies or not, the LESSEE must pay the amount for the minimum guaranteed
block hours. The period can go from one month to usually one to two years or more .
Organizational Structure
If your organization does not have, or access to, or does not intend to obtain an AOC then
you cannot lease an aircraft for a commercial operation. In this situation flights can only
be operated under a public charter contract. A third party airline or aircraft operator
would perform the flights under their AOC and be responsible for all aspects of the flight.
Tour operators and small start-up airlines may well use this option rather than going
through the certification process before startup
Financial Status.
A major decision an aircraft Lessor makes when placing an aircraft on lease is to evaluate
the risk factor! The two main types of leases (ACMI and Dry lease) have different risk
Factors. The owner/operator of an ACMI agreement retains control of the aircraft, and
Therefore, has more security over their asset than does the Lessor in a dry lease agreement
As the Lessee has control of the aircraft throughout the dry lease period.
The Lessor of a dry lease agreement generally requires that the Lessee has a solid
Operating history, 3 years of positive financial statements and the sufficient funding,
Therefore, it can be difficult for an airline to lease an airplane without these requirements.
In order for one to do so, the potential Lessee will need to provide the Lessor with a solid
Business plan, profile of the investors and senior management, and have clear proof of
Available funding. Please note that some Lessors may have slightly different requirements.
Cost of purchasing an aircraft can be restrictive to an airline that wants to start or expand

it's fleet. Leasing allows the cost to be spread across several years. At the lease term the
Lessee can either renew the lease or returned the aircraft to the lessor, to be replaced with
more modern, fuel-efficient aircraft
LEASE DEFINITIONS
ACMI - Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance
Everything less than one month can be considered as ad-hoc charter.
The Lessee has to provide all fuel, landing/handling/parking/storage fees, crew HOTAC
including meals and transportation as well as visa fees, import duties where applicable, as
well as local taxes. Furthermore, the LESSEE has to provide passenger/luggage and
cargo insurance and in some cases need to cover the costs for War Risk.
The Lessee has also to pay the over flight/navigation charges. This point can be a bit
Complicated. When flights are operating they use a flight number, which is issued to
Airlines by the ICAO. In order to cover the costs of air traffic control services, states over
Flown will send a bill to the owner of the flight number, which can be readily identified
by its code. The aircraft owner will probably have a code, but will not want to use it
Because he will end up paying the bills. Therefore, an ACMI lease requires that the
Lessee provides his own flight number, so that the bills can be directed to him. Thus, an
ACMI lease can usually only take place between two ICAO member state airlines unless
other arrangements have been made between Lessor & Lessee.
AMI - Aircraft, Maintenance & Insurance
ACMI lease the Lessor does not provide the crew (flight deck, attendants & engineers).
The Lessor will charge for the block hour (choc off to choc on) and depending on the
aircraft type, sets a minimum guaranteed block hours limit per month. If the airplane flies
or not, the Lessee must pay the amount for the minimum guaranteed block hours.
Wet Lease
Over the years aircraft leasing has gone through many changes and so today the
Terminology may not always reflect the service provided. In the UK for instance, Wet
Lease used to mean, quite logically, 'including fuel'. To our knowledge, generally only a
Charter service will include fuel in the price. Today, ACMI, Damp and Wet Lease are
Interchangeable and a rate quoted will usually not include cabin crew (except for the legal
Requirement of a supervising purser), see Damp lease below.
Damp Lease
Is similar to ACMI and Wet leasing, however the term usually means 'without cabin
Crew' (in some countries it was referred to as Wet Lease 'without fuel'). Under Damp
Lease, the Lessee will provide the cabin crew. This can only be done if the cabin crew
Receives SEP (Safety and Emergency Procedures) training by the Lessor, in order to be
Acquainted with the differences of the aircraft. Nevertheless, the Lessor will provide a
Supervising cabin purser. This term is not often referred too these days as the term ACMI
now covers this form of lease.
Dry Lease
Is the lease of the basic aircraft without insurances, crew and maintenance. Usually dry
lease is utilized by leasing companies and banks. A dry lease requires the Lessee to put
the aircraft on his own AOC and provide aircraft registration. A typical dry lease starts
from two years onwards and bears certain conditions as far as depreciation, maintenance,
insurances etc. are concerned. This depends on the geographical location, political
circumstances etc.
There are generally two types of dry lease: an Operating Lease or a Finance Lease.
1. Operating Lease: generally a lease term that is shorter compared to the economic life
of the aircraft being leased. An operating lease is commonly used to acquire aircraft for a
term of 2-7 years – and doesn't appear on the Lessee’s balance sheet.
2. Finance Lease Also known as a capital lease, is defined when one of the following
conditions are met:-
agreed price; t value of the aircraft;
A finance lease aircraft appears on the Lessee’s balance sheet, it is viewed as a purchase.
