With a proven track record and a solid network of global aviation partners, we proudly deliver bespoke solutions for aircraft lease and charter.
AIRCRAFT LEASING
MAP Aviation specialises in leasing aircraft for short or long term, covering seasonal demand fluctuations, route testing, crew shortages, late deliveries, scheduled and unscheduled aircraft maintenance, political bans and short term AOG situations.
A successful lease is much more than simply finding the right aircraft to operate the schedule. Almost every broker can do that! We specialise in contractual negotiations to ensure both lessor and lessee are represented fairly. Payment and commercial issues are managed sympathetically – but quickly and diplomatically – allowing our airline partners to concentrate on the operational side of a smooth and successful lease.
Types of lease
- Urgent AOG Solutions
- ACMI, wet or damp
- Longer term lease
- Aircraft purchasing

AIRCRAFT CHARTER
We can arrange aircraft charter for large groups of people, special occasions or movement or cargo – taking care of every detail on your behalf. Chartering has many advantages over scheduled flying.

- Choose timing to best suit your needs. No need to get up at 4am!
- Dedicated check-in. No need to queue with other travellers.
- Customise the aircraft as you want it with company branding and food and drink to suit.

Groups
When it comes to group travel, we can save you time and money. Whether it is a small or a large group of people, the logistics of getting them from A to B (and on to C and D) can be daunting. Let us sort out the details and cut through the jargon leaving you with the flight experience exactly as required.
Our previous clients include corporates, sports teams, travel management companies and tour operators.

Meet founder Mark Payne
Mark’s career in aviation began with a passion to see the world, as a teenager with a backpack in the early 90s. Mark travelled across Europe by rail and then South East Asia, moving from country to country by land, sea and air. At this point he knew nothing other than a career in travel would do.
Mark first worked for a specialist ski tour operator, taking clients’ holiday reservations. He soon moved into the company’s aviation department and from there he went on to manage their H24 Duty Office, dealing with transport logistics, matching aircraft arrivals with resort transfer coaches and handling customer emergencies.
Next, Mark moved to a UK airline and here he sold seat allocations to tour operators and whole aircraft to other airlines – his first taste of aircraft leasing!
In 2008 the global recession hit and the world’s oil prices reached new highs. Mark moved from the airline to a small, up and coming brokerage and spent three years learning his trade as an aircraft broker. In 2012 the UK’s largest aircraft broker asked Mark to join them and head up their aircraft leasing department. By 2017 he also had the role of Passenger Sales Director for a company turning over in excess of USD200 million.
So from Tour Operator, to Airline Executive, to Aircraft Broker and Senior Manager – Mark has seen all sides of the travel industry. His passion for travel remains undiminished and Mark counts himself very lucky to have experienced so many countries, culture and met so many wonderful people during his career so far.
