Leasing a cargo aircraft to move 1 million kilos a month
In February 2021, Air Charter Service was asked to arrange an aircraft lease for a cargo airline in Florida that needed cover whilst maintenance work was carried out on its fleet of Boeing B767Fs.
The airline requested an Airbus A321F, hoping to use the lease as a trial run for plans to diversify its fleet in the coming years.
Our Solution
Route: Various
Aircraft: Airbus A321F
We’ve seen an increase in demand for freighter aircraft to supplement fleets during the COVID-19 pandemic, as airlines look to bolster their international supply chains. This meant our experienced Leasing team was fully updated on aircraft availability around the world and we were able to quickly source an A321F from a UK-based charter airline. After we’d successfully brokered the lease, the aircraft flew 1.2 million kilos of cargo across over 120 sectors in its first month.
The Finer Details
Impressive Results: The client was so happy with the success of the operation that they have now contracted a second A321F to expand their capacity even further.
