Eclipse 500 for Lease

The Eclipse 500 is an outstanding choice for those seeking a cost-effective and efficient very light jet. With a maximum operating altitude of 41,000 feet and a normal cruise speed of 369 knots, this jet is perfect for short to mid-range trips, comfortably accommodating up to three passengers. When considering lease options, the Eclipse 500 presents competitive pricing. For a dry lease, where the lessee provides their own crew, the monthly cost is approximately $90,000, based on an hourly rate of $1,800 over 50 flight hours. Alternatively, a wet lease, which includes crew, maintenance, and insurance, is available at about $110,000 per month, reflecting an hourly rate of $2,200 for the same flight time. These rates make the Eclipse 500 a compelling option for both private and business aviation needs.

A wet lease is a comprehensive package designed to cover all your travel needs from point A to point B. It includes fuel, maintenance costs, and, most importantly, a crew to operate the aircraft.

 

The term ‘ACMI charter’ is often used interchangeably with wet leasing, providing a clearer understanding of what a wet lease entails. Here’s a breakdown of the ‘ACMI’ acronym:

 

A stands for ‘aircraft,’ the essential component required for your journey.

 

C means ‘crew,’ ensuring the presence of pilots to operate the plane and typically cabin crew for in-flight service.

 

M refers to ‘maintenance,’ meaning that with a wet lease, you won’t have to handle or pay separately for aircraft upkeep.

 

I signifies ‘insurance,’ which, like car rentals, offers comprehensive coverage. This could include everything from technical issues to exchange guarantees, ensuring seamless travel if an aircraft is delayed or becomes unserviceable.

Private individuals often seek wet lease options when chartering private jets because it offers a hassle-free, all-inclusive solution for starting their journey.

A dry lease is essentially the opposite of a wet lease, offering very little in terms of included services.

In ACMI terms, a dry lease only provides the ‘A’ — the aircraft itself. There’s no crew, maintenance, or insurance included.

Dry leases are commonly used by companies with their own pool of pilots, maintenance technicians, and cabin crew. If wet leasing is like hiring a limousine with a chauffeur, dry leasing is akin to renting a car without a driver.
