DRY LEASE AIRCRAFT: PRIVATE JET RENTAL

Unlike traditional jet lease services, a dry lease aircraft is a rental option for private jets for those requiring a jet without a crew or additional services. In this scenario, the lessee manages all logistics.  

At 5 Star Jets, we offer dry lease aircraft services that genuinely cater to your travel needs and preferences, allowing you to enjoy all the advantages of flying on a private jet.

 What is a Dry Lease Aircraft? 

A dry lease jet is a private leasing agreement in which the lessor provides the aircraft, customized to your travel requirements, including only the aircraft, without crew, maintenance programs, insurance, or other operational and/or logistical services.  

The lessee is responsible for hiring the crew, managing permits, and overseeing all permissions and logistics involved in arranging a private flight.

This aspect makes dry leasing an ideal choice for those with prior experience in managing private jets.

Benefits of Dry Lease Aircraft

Acquiring your private aircraft through a dry lease offers numerous benefits, among which we can highlight:  

  • Total Control of Flight Logistics and Operations :

    While it may pose a challenge for clients lacking experience in managing private flights, dry leasing provides you with complete control over all aspects of the aircraft: from selecting and hiring the crew to the aircraft maintenance programs and all logistical elements of planning a private flight.

  • Cost Reduction :

    By maintaining complete control over flight operations, you can optimize certain service costs. However, it is crucial to note that this is only feasible if you already possess experience in managing and planning private flights. 

  • Flexibility and Customization :

    Most charter flight services offer a high degree of flexibility and customization. Dry leasing enhances this, as owning your jet allows you to select your itineraries, schedules, and crew, making your flights entirely adaptable to your needs.

    This step is of utmost importance, as the choice of aircraft influences the remainder of the process. Since it is a private aircraft dry lease, you must take into account each jet’s characteristics, as well as its maintenance and operational requirements.

  • Requirements and Considerations :

    At this stage, special emphasis is placed on the requirements and considerations to keep in mind when contracting a dry lease service. Since the lessor assumes full responsibility for the operation of the aircraft, we review the essential aspects that the end client undertakes.

A Dry Lease is ideal for aviation operators who possess the capability and experience to manage the aircraft’s operation, including the necessary permits and paperwork for the plane to fly.
