Our services
Leap Dynamics operates as a wet- and dry-lease carrier as well as flying its own unscheduled freight. Capacity is sold four ways, and every one of them shows up on the freight board as flights you can pick up and operate.
ACMI
Complete aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance packages that expand a partner carrier’s reach without the capital.
CMI
Cost-effective outsourcing of crew, maintenance and insurance when a partner already holds the metal.
Charter
Unscheduled, on-demand freight charters launched against a live manifest: the core of what Leap flies.
Scheduled Capacity
Seasonal routes and capacity relief flown for partner carriers on their real-world weekly timings.
ACMI wet lease
The full package: our aircraft, our crews, our maintenance programme and our insurance, flying in a partner carrier's colors and against their network. The partner sells the capacity and pays by the block hour; we make sure the airplane is at the gate, crewed, fueled and legal, every rotation.
ACMI placements run from a single 747-400F covering a heavy-maintenance gap to multi-year, multi-tail programmes on transpacific trunk lanes. A typical agreement guarantees the partner 250 block hours a month per airframe, with a 96-hour spool-up from signed term sheet to first revenue departure when an aircraft is already positioned in the region. Crews rotate on 17-day tours through the partner's hubs, and line maintenance travels with the airplane.
On the freight board, ACMI flying is every departure carrying a partner's callsign: those rotations are ours to crew, and yours to fly.
CMI operations
Crew, maintenance and insurance for partners who already hold the metal. Under a CMI agreement the customer owns or dry-leases the aircraft and finances the fuel; we put our AOC, our pilots and our engineering behind it. It is the model of choice for express integrators and e-commerce networks that want dedicated freighters without building an airline around them.
A CMI fleet flies the customer's schedule and wears the customer's brand, but dispatch, crew records, training, reliability reporting and the technical logbook are all ours. Utilisation targets are set jointly each season; the current programmes average eleven block hours per airframe per day with a 99.2 percent controllable completion rate, which is the number the whole operation is managed to.
Charter
The core of what Leap flies: unscheduled, on-demand freight launched against a live manifest. A charter starts with a phone call, an AOG part number, a stranded production line or a drilling programme that cannot wait for scheduled capacity, and ends with a main-deck freighter at the nearest runway that takes its weight.
The charter desk quotes in hours, not days: aircraft and crew availability come straight off the operations board, and a quote holds fuel, overflight and handling in one number. Recent work spans complete engine changes flown into single-runway fields, oil and gas lease equipment lifted out of the network's far corners, humanitarian relief staged through regional hubs, and time- and temperature-critical pharmaceutical loads under active cold chain.
Every charter the desk books is generated onto the freight board with its real manifest: weights, pieces, ULD hardware and any dangerous goods declared to the pilot before departure.
Scheduled capacity
Recurring weekly capacity flown for partner carriers on their real-world timings: block space agreements, seasonal routes and capacity relief when a partner's own fleet is short. The schedule is imported from the partners' published weekly patterns, so a Wednesday Centrair departure on the board leaves when the real one does.
Scheduled flying is where the network earns its regularity: transpacific trunk rotations, the Cincinnati and Anchorage banks, and the intra-Asia shuttle work that keeps hubs fed between long-haul waves. It is also the first capacity that gets reinforced in the fourth-quarter peak, when e-commerce volume roughly doubles the network's weekly tonnage.
Air ambulance · Leap Med
Leap Med is the group's medevac arm: Learjet 35 and King Air 200 airframes fitted for stretcher carriage, medical oxygen and attending crew, launched from short regional fields on minimal notice. Missions are typically patient repatriations and inter-hospital transfers into the same small airports the feeder network serves, flown single-pilot-plus-medical-team and dispatched with the same manifest discipline as the freighters.
On the board, Leap Med legs are the short, light, urgent ones: they are also the passengers-carried column of the monthly competitions.
Feeder network · Leap Express
A Cessna 210 feeder fleet connects roughly forty out-stations to the main-deck network: bank documents, AOG rotables, vaccines and time-critical smalls flown into strips the heavies will never see. Legs run 80 to 450 nautical miles, single pilot, and the freight transfers to a mainline departure the same day.
Feeder flying is how new pilots build hours and how the single-engine piston cup gets won.
Freight we are built for
Leap was built around oil and gas logistics (drilling, exploration and lease equipment moved to sites well off the scheduled network) and the fleet is sized for outsize and project loads that will not fit anything smaller than a main-deck freighter. Alongside that sits palletised e-commerce volume, AOG powerplants and rotables, automotive assemblies, gensets and turbine sections, and containerised freight in LD3, LD7 and LD9 hardware.
