Q: What operational responsibilities come with dry lease?

Dry lease requires you to handle crew recruitment and payroll, insurance, fuel, landing and airport fees, maintenance downtime, FAA operational control risks, and you cannot sublease or resell hours easily.

Q: What are the limitations of wet lease?

Wet lease includes bundled crew, maintenance, and insurance but locks you into rigid monthly minimum hours, limited flexibility for trips outside the lease region, and expensive standby time or repositioning when not in use.

Q: Who should consider jet leasing?

Leasing may make sense for corporate departments with predictable, high-frequency usage, operators or management firms needing guaranteed access, and owners seeking full control and operational autonomy.
