CORSIA for ACMI Operators: Who Reports the Emissions?
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...

ACMI Pilot Induction Training Before Wet Lease Deployment
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.

Simulator Capacity Planning for ACMI Fleet Induction
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...

Recurrent Training Planning for Seasonal ACMI Crews
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...

Cabin Crew Differences Training for ACMI Operations
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...

Boeing 737 Type Rating Planning for ACMI Operators
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...

A320 Type Rating Planning for ACMI Operators
A320-family ACMI growth can be limited by training throughput rather than aircraft supply. Operators adding A320ceo, A320neo or A321 capacity need a type-rating and differences-training plan that matches the exact var...

How Airlines Audit Crew Training Records Before an ACMI Lease
A customer airline's due diligence should go beyond checking that crew licenses are valid. The useful audit traces each assigned crew member through type qualification, recurrent checks, route or airport requirements,...

A330 Training for Widebody ACMI Crews
Widebody ACMI induction adds long-haul scheduling, augmented crew, ETOPS or EDTO, international permits and customer cabin requirements to the normal type-training workload. The training plan should be built around th...

ATR 72 Training for Regional ACMI Operations
ATR ACMI programs frequently serve thinner routes, remote stations and airports where turboprop performance is the commercial reason for the contract. Training should reflect that operating environment rather than sim...

E190 and E195 Training for Regional ACMI Crews
Regional ACMI work rewards crews that can move efficiently across dense short-haul schedules, constrained airports and multiple customer bases. E-Jet training therefore needs strong emphasis on fleet standardization,...
