Aircraft
Light, midsize, super-midsize and heavy jets sourced against your cabin, range and runway requirement.
ACMI & Wet Lease — Business Jets
Goodall Aviation arranges aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance for private business jet operators and owners — from offices in London and Marbella, with a satellite office in Las Vegas.
What we do
ACMI — Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance — is the cleanest way to put another jet to work under your own commercial arrangement. The aircraft flies with its operator’s crew and under its operator’s certificate. You take the schedule, the passengers and the commercial relationship.
We work between operators, owners and brokers to place the right aircraft against the right requirement: peak season overflow, an unserviceable tail, a new route being trialled, or a contract that needs cover before a purchase completes.
Every enquiry is handled by one person, start to finish, and nothing about your requirement is discussed outside the parties it concerns.
The four elements
Light, midsize, super-midsize and heavy jets sourced against your cabin, range and runway requirement.
Type-rated, current flight and cabin crew provided by the operator, with rostering and duty planning included.
Continuing airworthiness and line maintenance remain with the operator for the full term of the lease.
Hull and liability cover carried by the operator, with certificates and additional insured wording confirmed before the first flight.
Capability
If your requirement sits slightly outside this list, it is still worth asking — most of our work begins that way.
How we work
Requirements, rates and the identity of the parties stay between the parties. Nothing is circulated on an open market to see what comes back.
We place work with operators we know, and we confirm certification, insurance and maintenance status on every arrangement rather than assuming it.
From first enquiry to the final sector you deal with the same person. No handovers, no desk of account managers, no chasing.
Presence
Our United Kingdom base, covering Northern European traffic and requirements moving between Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Our Southern European base, close to the Mediterranean and Iberian market and to the seasonal peaks that drive much of the region’s demand.
Our North American presence, covering US requirements and transatlantic movements, and keeping a working overlap with European hours.
Common questions
ACMI stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance. Under an ACMI lease the owner or operator supplies the jet together with its flight crew, its maintenance cover and its insurance, while you take the schedule, the passengers and the commercial relationship. The aircraft flies under the operator’s air operator certificate throughout.
A charter is a single booking sold flight by flight. A wet lease, which in business aviation is usually an ACMI arrangement, places an aircraft and its crew at your disposal for a defined period, so you control how it is used and how the flying is sold. Wet leasing suits operators who need extra capacity under their own commercial arrangement rather than a one-off trip.
It depends on the aircraft category and where the requirement sits, but replacement lift for an unserviceable aircraft is one of the things we are called on most often. Send the requirement through the enquiry form with the AOG toggle set to Yes and it is treated as urgent.
Light, midsize, super-midsize and heavy jets, through to ultra-long-range aircraft and bizliners. The right answer is usually driven by cabin size, range and the runway performance your sectors demand, so it is worth telling us the requirement rather than the type.
Anything from a few days to a full season or longer. Short-term arrangements typically cover an unserviceable aircraft or a peak in demand, while longer terms suit programme flying, a trial route, or bridging the gap between selling one aircraft and taking delivery of the next.
Europe is our main market, worked from offices in London and Marbella, and we regularly handle requirements moving between Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Our Las Vegas office covers United States requirements and transatlantic movements, and keeps a working overlap with European hours.
No. Goodall Aviation is not a direct air carrier and does not operate aircraft. We arrange leases between the parties, and every flight is performed by a licensed third-party air carrier holding the appropriate air operator certificate for the operation.
Aircraft category, the dates or period, the sectors involved and the shape of the contract are usually enough for us to come back with options. If you have less than that, send what you have — most of our work begins with an incomplete picture.
