Aircraft Dry Lease
StructIQ facilitates and coordinates dry-lease aircraft solutions through airline operating companies and appropriately certificated Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holders.
Operating model
Who does what in a dry lease.
StructIQ does not operate aircraft and does not hold an Air Operator Certificate. Aircraft are provided by owners and lessors, and operated by airlines and AOC holders under their own regulatory approvals.

Aircraft dry lease
Aircraft capacity for established operators.
StructIQ works with airlines and aviation operators seeking additional aircraft capacity through dry-lease arrangements.
We assist AOC-holding operators in identifying suitable aircraft and coordinating the commercial and technical process between airlines, aircraft owners, lessors, technical representatives and other relevant parties.
A dry lease generally provides the aircraft without crew, with operational responsibilities managed by the lessee/operator in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework and approvals.
We support dry-lease requirements for
- Fleet expansion
- Replacement aircraft
- New route development
- Capacity growth
- Fleet modernisation
- Seasonal planning
- Aircraft transition
- Medium- and long-term fleet requirements
Who we work with
Demand side, supply side and the specialists in between.
Airlines & AOC Holders
StructIQ supports established airlines and appropriately certificated operators seeking aircraft to complement or expand their fleets.
Aircraft Owners & Lessors
We work to identify aircraft owners, lessors and supply-side aviation partners with aircraft potentially suitable for qualified operator requirements.
Technical & Aviation Partners
Where required, relevant technical, inspection, maintenance, legal, insurance, regulatory and aviation specialists may participate in the transaction process.
Process
How a dry-lease requirement works.
Seven coordinated stages, from operator requirement through to entry into service. Regulatory approvals sit with the operator and the applicable authorities throughout.
01
Stage
Operator Requirement
The airline / AOC holder provides its aircraft requirement.
- Preferred aircraft type
- Configuration
- Passenger capacity
- Aircraft age preference
- Engine type
- Required delivery date
- Lease duration
- Operating geography
- Expected utilisation
- Maintenance requirements
- Commercial expectations
02
Stage
Operator Qualification
Relevant operator information required by aircraft owners or lessors is collected and held internally.
- Company information
- AOC information
- Operating history
- Existing fleet
- Intended aircraft operation
- Financial information where requested
- Regulatory jurisdiction
- Proposed lease duration
- Supporting corporate documents
Confidential documentation is never published or publicly exposed.
03
Stage
Aircraft Sourcing
StructIQ identifies potentially suitable aircraft from relevant owners, lessors, operators and aviation counterparties.
04
Stage
Preliminary Matching
Available aircraft are compared against the operator requirement.
- Aircraft type
- Configuration
- Age
- Engine
- Maintenance status
- Delivery timing
- Location
- Lease term
- Commercial expectations
- Operator requirements
05
Stage
Commercial & Technical Evaluation
StructIQ coordinates the exchange and review of relevant commercial and technical information between the parties.

StructIQ does not independently certify airworthiness. Airworthiness determinations rest with the responsible approved organisations and authorities.
06
Stage
Lease & Regulatory Coordination
StructIQ supports coordination between the relevant parties as the transaction progresses.
- Lease documentation
- Aircraft inspection
- Regulatory review
- Aircraft acceptance
- Registration requirements
- Insurance
- Delivery
- Entry into service
All required regulatory approvals remain subject to the relevant aviation authorities and responsible parties.
07
Stage
Aircraft Delivery
StructIQ coordinates relevant stakeholders through aircraft delivery and transition to the operator.
Marketplace position
StructIQ is the coordination layer.
Aircraft supply and aircraft demand rarely speak the same commercial and technical language. StructIQ sits between them and moves the transaction forward.
