Conventional aircraft rental
Short-term access is booked by the hour and depends on fleet availability; a dry lease provides one specified aircraft for an agreed 12–24 month period.

Private GA Aircraft Dry Lease for 12–24 Months
Fly your own dedicated general aviation aircraft for 12–24 months — without buying it.A private dry lease gives an individual pilot or small pilot group medium-term access to a modern piston aircraft based at their preferred airport. Unlike conventional aircraft rental or club flying, the aircraft is leased to you for an agreed period and is not part of a general rental fleet.
Clear definition
What is a private aircraft dry lease?
Conventional aircraft rental can start to feel limiting when a private pilot flies more cross-country trips, needs weekends or several days away, repeatedly encounters scheduling conflicts, or wants consistent access to the same touring aircraft. This does not automatically make ownership—or a dry lease—the right answer; a different club, continued rental, co-ownership or purchase may fit better.
In general aviation, a private aircraft dry lease is a 12–24 month GA aircraft lease without crew and an alternative to buying an aircraft outright.
Invictum Aero provides a specific aircraft to an individual pilot or small pilot group for typically 12–24 months. You use and operate the aircraft much like an owner would, while Invictum Aero retains ownership of the aircraft.
The model is designed for pilots who want more availability, continuity and control than conventional club or rental flying can provide, but who do not want to commit capital to purchasing an aircraft.
Depending on the individual lease, costs such as insurance, hangarage, maintenance reserves and operating expenses are agreed separately and clearly set out before the lease begins.
How does a private dry lease differ from the alternatives?
Flying-club access
Club members share access under club rules and normally do not control one dedicated aircraft for 12–24 months.
Shared or co-ownership
The pilot acquires an ownership interest and shares capital, decisions and residual-value exposure; a dry lease does not transfer ownership.
Buying a GA aircraft
The pilot purchases the aircraft and accepts long-term capital and residual-value exposure; a dry lease provides medium-term access without the purchase.
Main benefits
What the arrangement provides.
Each engagement is shaped around the aircraft, pilots, intended use and level of commitment.
Dedicated access
Use a specified aircraft for a defined 12–24 month period rather than relying on rental availability.
No purchase commitment
Gain the experience of private aircraft access without deploying the capital required to buy.
Predictable budgeting
A fixed monthly lease cost makes the core commitment easier to plan and compare.
Greater scheduling control
Plan your flying around your own needs, without the usual rental queue.
Flexible participation
The structure can suit an individual pilot or a small, aligned group.
How the dry lease works
Fly it as your own. Without buying it first.
A private dry lease is one possible step between conventional rental and ownership, and remains a meaningful 12–24 month commitment. Invictum Aero works across Europe, with particular focus on Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Placement depends on pilot location, intended base airport, aircraft availability, maintenance and support considerations, and individual transaction requirements.
