AIRCRAFT LEASING & OPERATIONS

The fleet you need, exactly as long as you need it

We provide the metal, the crew, the maintenance, and the insurance — you keep the route, the customer, and the upside. Capacity that arrives the moment opportunity does, and steps aside the moment it passes.

WHO WE FLY FOR

For operators with somewhere to grow

Growth rarely arrives on a schedule that matches your fleet. Lease the lift, and the capacity is ready when the opportunity arises, with the crew, the maintenance, and the insurance already handled.

  • Passenger airlines: Meet a seasonal peak, cover an AOG, or launch a route with wide-body or narrow-body lift, crewed, serviced, and flying when you need it.
  • Cargo carriers & freight networks: Place a dedicated 747 or 777 freighter capacity directly into your network, without a second airframe on the books.
  • Integrators & forwarders: Scale into a surge or a new lane on demand, then scale back the moment the curve turns, with no carrying cost left behind.
  • Established airlines: You have the network, the routes, and the demand. We add fully operated aircraft, flown and maintained on our certificate, so you can carry more without carrying the aircraft.
  • New & growing airlines: Prove a route before you commit to owning one, with three decades of operational discipline already under the wing.

WHAT SETS US APART

Anyone can hand you an aircraft. Far fewer can keep it earning.

A lease is only as good as the operation behind it. The tail is the easy part. What determines whether it performs is the desk that answers at three in the morning, the maintenance network that keeps it flying, and the discipline that does the unglamorous work before it ever becomes a problem.

  • An operations center that never sleeps: Every flight runs through our Systems Operations Center in Orlando — dispatch, crew scheduling, AOG and parts, around the clock, around the world. When something shifts on the far side of the planet at an unsociable hour, someone here is already handling it.
  • Maintenance that keeps the aircraft flying: Maintenance bases positioned for genuine global coverage, built on preventative work and disciplined parts sourcing. The point is simple: the aircraft stays in revenue service, not in a hangar waiting on a component.
  • Capacity that scales with your demand: Add capacity as demand builds, with terms structured to scale alongside your business. When the opportunity grows, the lift can grow with it.
  • Thirty years, ready to deploy: Multiple aircraft platforms, multilingual crews, and three decades of collective experience behind the schedule. Enough operational depth to put the right combination in the right place while the opportunity is still open.

SERVICE HIGHLIGHTS

More than enough to handle the unusual

Some missions need more than the routine. Our team carries a deep service repertoire, so the unusual mission is still a standard day at the office.

SERVICE HIGHLIGHTS

Own the route, lease the rest

There’s the aircraft, and there’s everything that keeps it earning. Take both, or take only the second. Either way, the rest is ours to handle.

Certifications and compliance

Leased on the standard that flies for the nation

An aircraft is only as sound as the operation that certifies it. Ours holds the credentials that satisfy federal, defense, and international authorities — the same discipline applied to every tail we put under contract.

Four dark-blue rounded badges (object) display ISO standard icons and labels—ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001 (action)—aligned horizontally on a white background (context).
A stylized dark-blue airplane silhouette with extended horizontal wings sits above bold "IATA" lettering, centered on a plain white background.
Logo identifies IATA's IOSA program: stylized circular globe above wing-like shapes left of bold "IOSA" letters, small "IATA Operational Safety Audit" subtitle, rendered in dark navy on white.
A uniformly black square fills the frame, showing no discernible features, textures, or light sources — appearing as a solid, featureless dark background.
Navy-blue capital letters "CNS" form a logo, followed by a right-pointing chevron suggesting forward motion, centered on a plain white background.
CTPAT logo features a navy-blue circular globe emblem at left and bold serif lettering spelling "CTPAT" to the right on a white background.
