ACMI & Ad-hoc charter


Airborne since 1989
ACMI backed by real airline experience
At DAT, ACMI is backed by the experience of operating our own scheduled airline. With 700,000 annual passengers on our own routes, we understand the responsibility that comes with keeping an operation moving, because we manage those same demands every day across our network in Denmark, Norway, Germany, Italy and Austria.
Since 1989, DAT has combined aviation experience with financial discipline. This has allowed us to grow steadily for more than 37 years without ever reporting an annual loss, a level of stability that gives our partners confidence in an industry where reliability matters every day.
We support this experience with a high degree of self-sufficiency. With a fleet of more than 25 aircraft, in-house maintenance teams and an extensive internal stock of spare parts, we reduce dependency on third parties and keep close control of both operational reliability and maintenance standards.
This structure allows us to respond quickly, be airborne in as little as two hours and operate in some of the world’s most demanding environments, from the mountains of Bhutan to the fjords of Scandinavia. Our partners rely on us not only for capacity, but for a practical, experienced and well-maintained operation that understands what is at stake.
When you partner with DAT, you are not simply renting capacity. You are gaining access to the infrastructure, experience and reliability of an airline that has been proving what it takes to stay airborne since 1989.
True flexibility
Wet or damp lease
Aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance when you need full ACMI support. If you experience seasonal peaks, unexpected capacity demands or grounded aircraft, we help you get your passengers back in the sky. If you want to keep your own crew in the cabin, a damp lease can provide the right balance of capacity and control.
Charter
With more than 35 years of operational experience, DAT has handled a wide range of complex assignments, from an A320 rescue flight out of Dubai to a FIFA World Cup trophy tour around the world sponsored by Coca-Cola. Request charter flights here.
