We were tasked with a busy flight schedule on track when a Boeing 737-800 went out of action.
An urgent ACMI lease to replace a grounded airliner
A leading tour operator contacted our leasing division when one of their Boeing 737-800s went out of action during peak season. The parts for repairing the grounded plane were delayed, so an alternative aircraft was needed to maintain their busy flight schedule for the next 10 days in order to maintain seamless service and operational integrity. We got to work on an ACMI solution that combined standby and live operation.
Our Solution
Type of Lease: ACMI wet lease
Aircraft: Boeing 737-800
Our leasing experts devised a solution within just half an hour of receiving the client’s call.
The replacement B737-800 needed to have the same all-economy seating and catering equipment as the grounded airliner. Reaching out to our contacts, we sourced a handful of options, but lease rates during peak season exceeded the budget we’d been given.
However, our team utilised our long-standing operator relationships to negotiate a more cost-effective rate. Our client was delighted to secure the aircraft at such short notice.
We oversaw operations throughout the lease period, which is the standard for any operation ACS Leasing manage, providing our clients with on-hand personal services and support. Our team swiftly resolve any issues that may arise, and maintain our clients’ reputation and on-time performance.
