Eclipse 500 for Lease

The Eclipse 500 is a highly efficient and modern very light jet (VLJ) available for lease, offering an ideal solution for short-haul private aviation with low operating costs and impressive performance. Manufactured by Eclipse Aviation, the Eclipse 500 is designed to provide jet-speed travel at a fraction of the cost of larger business jets, making it an attractive choice for corporate executives, private owners, and charter operations. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A turbofan engines, the Eclipse 500 delivers a maximum cruise speed of 370 knots (685 km/h) and a range of approximately 1,125 nautical miles (2,084 km), allowing for seamless regional travel between key business hubs. With a service ceiling of 41,000 feet (12,497 m), it can fly above commercial air traffic, ensuring a smooth and efficient flight experience. The compact yet comfortable cabin, measuring 12.3 feet (3.74 m) in length, 4.8 feet (1.46 m) in width, and 4.2 feet (1.27 m) in height, accommodates up to four to six passengers in an executive-style layout. Designed with a pressurized cabin, large windows, and ergonomic seating, it provides a comfortable and productive travel environment. The aircraft’s low noise levels and efficient fuel consumption make it one of the most cost-effective private jets in the VLJ category. The Eclipse 500 is equipped with the Avio NG avionics suite, integrating automated systems, advanced navigation, and a glass cockpit display, making it pilot-friendly and highly efficient. With a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 5,950 lbs (2,698 kg) and a fuel capacity of 1,698 lbs (770 kg), the aircraft is designed for fuel efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements. Leasing the Eclipse 500 offers a flexible and economical alternative to private jet ownership, providing access to efficient, point-to-point travel without the overhead of a larger aircraft. Ideal for business trips, personal travel, and on-demand charter operations, the Eclipse 500 is a perfect choice for those seeking speed, convenience, and affordability in a private jet.

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.
