ACMIhub is a structured marketplace for ACMI, wet lease, dry lease and charter aircraft. Here is how a deal comes together on the platform.
Use powerful filters to find the right aircraft: type, lease type, availability window, base airport, region, minimum seats, range, ETOPS certification and price range. Every listing shows verified operator badges, Aircraft Utilization Score and key specs.
Found an aircraft that looks right? Send a Quick Quote request in one click. Specify dates, base airport and any notes. No lengthy forms, no negotiation preamble. The lessor gets notified instantly and responds with an indicative price — often within the hour.
Once both parties are aligned, the deal moves into the Deal Room — a structured, auditable workspace where everything is tracked: milestones, NDA signing, document uploads, contract versions and a full status history. No more digging through email chains.
After a deal completes, both lessor and lessee leave a review across six dimensions: reliability, aircraft condition, communication, terms compliance and payment. Reviews feed the Trust Score — a public, tamper-proof reputation that travels with every company on the platform.
ACMIhub supports all major short and medium-term aircraft leasing structures.
Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance provided by the lessor. The lessee provides fuel and pays for block hours. Most common for short-term capacity needs.
Aircraft only — no crew, maintenance or insurance. Lessee takes operational control. Typical for 12–72 month terms. Requires lessee's own AOC.
Aircraft + crew (no maintenance or insurance). A hybrid structure used in markets with crew availability constraints. Less common than ACMI or dry.
Full aircraft charter for specific routes or tours. Typically short-duration, per-flight or per-day pricing. Lessor retains full operational control.
ACMI structure for freighter aircraft. Includes crew, maintenance and insurance. Common for peak season cargo surges and e-commerce network expansion.
Bilateral exchange of aircraft between operators in opposite-hemisphere seasonal peaks. Reduces idle time and eliminates repositioning costs.
You can register for free and post one active listing. Pro and Enterprise plans unlock unlimited listings, the full Deal Room, AUS analytics and API access. See our pricing page for details.
Every company goes through our KYB (Know Your Business) process: business registration, AOC documents, key personnel ID. Verification is performed by our team, typically within 1–3 business days.
Yes. Lessees — airlines looking for additional capacity — can register, search listings and send Quick Quote requests without listing any of their own aircraft.
A Quick Quote is a minimal, one-click inquiry to a lessor. You specify dates, base airport and optional notes. The lessor responds with an indicative price. If acceptable, one more click converts it into a structured deal.
All deal activity is logged in an auditable timeline. Both parties can raise a dispute through the platform. Reviews capture the full counterparty experience. Our compliance and dispute process is documented in the Terms of Service.
You control visibility. Documents can be set to public, registered-users-only or NDA-required. Sensitive technical records are never shown publicly. All data is encrypted at rest.
For deals originated through the platform, a small platform commission applies. The rate depends on your subscription plan. Details are on the pricing page.
Yes. Pro and Enterprise subscribers can generate an embeddable widget showing their available fleet capacity on their own website, with a live feed from the platform.
Three stories showing how real aviation businesses use ACMIhub to solve real problems.
How a European charter carrier solved a peak-season crisis
It's 6:47 AM on a Tuesday in July. A mid-size European charter airline — let's call them Adriatic Sun Airways — gets the call every fleet planner dreads: their Boeing 737-800 operating AYT rotations is AOG at Antalya due to an unscheduled engine removal. The aircraft won't fly for 8–12 days.
Peak summer. Three rotations per day. 570 passengers already booked in the next 48 hours, most with non-refundable package tours. The clock is running.
Their fleet planner opens ACMIhub. Filters: B737-800 or A320, ACMI, available immediately, base within ferry range of AYT (Antalya). Four results appear within seconds — three in southern Europe, one based in Istanbul.
Quick Quote sent to all four simultaneously. 47 minutes later, the first response arrives: €3,950 per block hour, available immediately, based at SAW (Sabiha Gökçen). The operator's Trust Score: 4.7/5 across 11 completed deals.

How parallel negotiation changed the procurement equation
Every year, a Gulf carrier faces the same planning challenge: the Hajj pilgrimage requires a massive short-term capacity surge. This year, they need 5 additional widebody aircraft — A330s or B777s — for a 6-week window. Their regular fleet cannot absorb the demand.
The traditional approach: assign a team to call every lessor in their contact list, wait for availability confirmations, negotiate individually, chase for technical records. Total lead time: 4–8 weeks. Typical result: 2–3 aircraft confirmed with time to spare, the rest scrambled in the final week.
On ACMIhub, their fleet manager posts a single RFP specifying: widebody, A330 or B777, ACMI, 6-week window, base within reasonable ferry range of JED and MED. Within 72 hours, 12 operators have responded with proposals.
The Fleet Comparison Tool lines up all 12 responses in a standardised view. The team shortlists 6. Opens Deal Rooms with the top 5. All 5 contracts are signed within 3 weeks of the RFP going live.

How marketplace visibility converts idle capacity into €1.2M revenue
A cargo operator based in Leipzig runs two A330-300P2F freighters. In peak months — October through January — they run at near-full utilization serving major e-commerce contracts. But February through April is consistently dead: 40% utilization, aircraft sitting between contracts, fixed costs accumulating.
Their existing broker network doesn't have demand for freighters in this window. The brokers serve the same segment — integrator contracts with structured annual procurement cycles. They don't have visibility into the flower season, humanitarian charters, or nimble e-commerce operators looking for short-term freighter capacity.
Both A330Fs are listed on ACMIhub: cargo wet lease, minimum 30 days, available February–April. Within 2 weeks, three Quick Quote requests arrive:
Two deals close. Utilization jumps from 40% to 78% in what were traditionally dead months.
