Carbon Lease

How it works

When you purchase a Carbon Lease, you lease time on a specific serial-numbered aircraft in the Carbon Autonomous fleet. You enjoy all the same advantages of being a Carbon Share Owner, without owning the asset.  Get the same service quality as Carbon Share, without the upfront capital investment.

CUSTOMIZATION

Share sizes start at XX annual flight hours and increase in XX-hour increments. Simply choose the aircraft type(s) and share size(s) that are best for you. Depending on the aircraft type, the minimum commitment ranges from MM to MM months.

ACCESS AN ENTIRE FLEET

If your aircraft type doesn’t suit you for a data gathering need, you may request an exchange to another aircraft type in the Carbon fleet to better satisfy your specific need.

PAYMENT STRUCTURE

Pricing is based on aircraft type, flight hours per year, and length of term you choose. Fixed-term leases range from 24 to 60 months.
