Wet or dry ?

[Lan Ding Gere]

Having read a few other posts it mentions wet lease and dry lease.

What is the difference between the two ?

Dry= A/C only
Wet= A/C + crew (flight deck and cabin)
Damp= A/C+cabin crew

Thanks DV8,

You've answered my question :)

These forums are gold mines :)

Damp is a/c plus flt deck

[Lan Ding Gere]

I'm a little confused now.

What is damp ?

I have two different variations

one is A/C + cabin crew and the other is A/C plut flight deck ?

May be correct I was never 100% sure about DAMP

[mattpilot]

actually, that is not 'quite' correct.

When your talking about renting a plane "wet", your talking about renting it with FUEL. Hence the name "wet".

When renting bizjets, and your talking about renting it "wet", then i suppose the crew is included. But not when your talking about small single engine pistons, or small twins.

Does it include a stocked bar?? :D :D :D

mattpilot,

'Wet' meaning 'with fuel' is used in that sense in the GA environment. This is an airline forum though - 'wet' means 'with crew' in the airline environment.

@noddy

i figured that would be the case - i was just clarifying since its often unsure of which is being talked about (even though its an airline forum - i was tricked in my very first post because of the name of the forum, perhaps others too).

Also consider ACMI! Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (you're given these when you dosh out for the contract).
