FAQs
What factors to consider when deciding whether to lease or buy an aircraft?
What are the types of aircraft leases?
There are three types of aircraft lease agreement:
- Wet lease agreement – the leasing company provides everything including: the aircraft, crew, maintenance of the aircraft and insurance.
- Dry lease agreement – is only leasing the aircraft itself.
- Damp lease agreement – is a mixture of the two. An airline decides what elements they need to lease based on their requirements.
How to minimise EU 261 claims?
Airlines are paying substantial amounts to compensate passengers under EU 261. Claims management companies and ‘no-win no-fee’ law firms offer support to passengers to claim compensation even when there is an arguable defence. But some airlines are paying out because of the difficulty of providing evidential proof of delay being caused by ‘extraordinary circumstances’. It is therefore important to rigorously defend spurious claims to deter claims management companies.
