ACMI World is an aviation media platform covering aircraft leasing, ACMI, wet lease, charter, airline capacity, and commercial aviation news for operators, lessors, brokers, investors, and industry professionals.
Aviation Carbon Offsetting
A business aviation operator may choose to finance voluntary mitigation even when a flight does not create a CORSIA offsetting obligation. The claim should make that distinction clear so passengers and corporate clients understand whethe...
Aviation Carbon Offsetting
Forward procurement can secure future carbon supply before an airline's compliance obligation is final, but it transfers project, authorization and eligibility risk into the contract. The term sheet should define what happens when the pr...
Aviation Carbon Regulation
UK aircraft operators can have CORSIA and UK ETS responsibilities in parallel, and the interaction has been subject to UK policy development. The safest operating model is to classify routes under each scheme independently and follow cur...
Aviation Carbon Regulation
European airlines can face CORSIA and EU ETS obligations within the same emissions-management function, but the schemes do not apply identically to the same route set. Route classification, reporting and instrument procurement should be...
Aviation Carbon Offsetting
Durable carbon removals can play a role in voluntary aviation portfolios, but price, delivery risk and accounting treatment differ materially from conventional avoidance credits. Airlines should decide whether removals are being purchase...
CORSIA Compliance
In a wet lease, the operating carrier provides the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance and retains operational control. CORSIA reporting therefore follows the aeroplane operator attribution rules, not the airline brand shown to the...
CORSIA Compliance
Cargo airlines are subject to the same CORSIA architecture as passenger operators when they meet the applicability rules, but network design can make route mapping more complex. Night hubs, technical stops, triangular rotations and chart...
ACMI Training
A deployment-specific induction should close the gap between a pilot's existing type qualification and the operator procedures, customer requirements, route environment and station network used on the wet-lease contract.
ACMI Training
An aircraft can be commercially available before the simulator capacity exists to qualify enough crews. Fleet induction planning should therefore model training-device access, instructor throughput and checking capaci...
ACMI Training
Seasonal ACMI operators cannot treat recurrent training as a fixed annual event. Simulator slots, expiry dates, base checks and customer induction must be sequenced around fleet peaks so qualified crews are available...
ACMI Training
Wet-lease cabin crews may move between aircraft subtypes, cabin layouts and customer service standards. Differences training should therefore separate safety-critical aircraft configuration from the commercial service...
ACMI Training
737 ACMI fleets often combine aircraft of different generations, customer programs and seasonal bases. Training planning should identify whether crews need NG, MAX or differences qualifications and then protect enough...
