You have projects in africa want to minimize costs for flights ,then you talk to us, why send expensively when we are there?
After researching on air charter services for cargo and passengers we realized alot of companies pay huge sums of money and why? Because they dont have any knowledge of lease hire and thats is where we come in handy.In lease hire first you have to have the statistics of your movements and establish how many hours you spend on flying in amonth,how much cargo you airlift and passengers even if you are using commercial flights ascertain the cost.Once you have done this, approach an air charter company for a proposal and compare then make a decission based on the gathered information.
In lease hire you have to commit anumber of hours for acertain period,which gives you an advantage ,when you fly more than the minimum guaranteed hours the rate per hour drops not like the adhoc flights where you just fly and dont get incentives.Normally for 10,12,18 seater the minimum guaranteed hours per month is 70 hrs for a period of not less than 3 month after which the 71 hrs the rate drops with approximatley usd 30 per hour.These aircrafts are convertable from passengers to cargo and this gives you options whereby you can go with afew passengers with cargo or vise visa.The 10 seater and 12 seater can carry upto 1tonne and 18 seater 1.5 tonnes of cargo.For 3 tonnes upto 9 tonnes we will require minimum 120 hrs guaranteed within aperiod of not less than 3 month which is convertable to cargo and passengers.
What is the advantage? You enter into acontract with us for the exclussive use of the aircraft and you get other firms operating in the same locality who are unable to lease and form a consortium and you will realize you will fly more and benefit as when you hit the minimum guaranteed hours the extra hour will go for a different rate that is it will drop and that is where you will make some money.Lease hire is charged in two ways dry or wet lease. Dry lease is where the lessee pays only for Aircraft and insurance (IA) and other costs like fuel,maintance,crew,landing ,navigation,parking ,crew accommodation,transport,laundry,clearances,work permits,license validation is on the lesse account.The lessor (0wner of aircraft only pays for insurance and aircraft).Wet lease is charged on (ACMI) Aircraft.Maintance,CRew,Insurance andd the lessee pays for crew meals,accomodation,laundry and transport,internet,fuel,landing,navigation,parking,work permits,clearances,validation and crew change return tickets that is pilots andd engineers.In adhoc flights you will realize you might be chartering an aircraft flying for example 100 hrs and since it is not lease you loose an incentive on 30 hrs and this is the hidden advantage which most of air charter company will not tell you.So there is need to evacuate your project and get to know which way to go orelse you will loose big time.In other cases you find organizations lease whereas their best option is to charter and they loose out and it is not adviceable to lease if you are not able to fly 60 hrs and above in amonth.You rather committ for adhoc flights in a month having know exactly which days you fly and negotiate for a further 5% discount as for lease whether you fly or not you will pay for the guaranteed hours.In lease hire deposit of the guaranteed hours is paid plus one month security and the aircraft will be painted in your colour with your logo if you want and even pilots can wear uniform of business identity.
You are a frequent flyer using private executive jet flights for about 40 hrs in amonth why charter? Your solution is to lease and combine with your friends who use the same services as you do and enjoy the incentive as mentioned above.
You have projects in Drc congo,south sudan,somalia for supplying food,medicine and other humanitarian relief supply the best way to go is leasing.You are a frequent charterer of a private charter for example flying a sector of about 40 hrs in amonth why not combine with other bussinessmen/women and lease the jet and enjoy the incentives as mentioned above.
Your most cost effective way to fly for projects and bussiness executive travellers is by leasing through your reliable flying partner.Your have any logistics problem to solve you have the answer here.
