A320-200 indicative range
Select a departure airport or click the map to explore the reference radius.
The Airbus A320-200 is one of the world’s most widely operated single-aisle aircraft for short- and medium-haul passenger services. Its practical capacity, airport compatibility and established support network make it suitable for scheduled operations, seasonal programmes and temporary replacement capacity.
The A320-200 aircraft presented on this page include two engine configurations: one powered by the CFM56 engine family and another powered by the IAE V2527-A5. Although both use the same basic A320-200 airframe, the engine configuration affects maintenance planning, technical support, performance calculations and operator suitability.
An Airbus A320 ACMI lease can help an airline introduce or replace capacity without arranging the aircraft, crew, maintenance support and insurance separately. Depending on the requirement, the aircraft may support scheduled services, seasonal demand, new-route launches, fleet transitions or temporary replacement programmes.
An aircraft is considered available only after confirmation by ACMI Lease and, where applicable, by the responsible AOC holder for the proposed programme.
Airbus A320-200 Engine Configurations
A320-200 with CFM56 Engines
The CFM56-powered A320-200 benefits from a large worldwide operator base and an established maintenance and spare-parts network. It may suit programmes where fleet familiarity, technical support and previous operator experience with the CFM56 family are important considerations.
The precise CFM56 model and modification standard must be confirmed from the individual aircraft records. This information is important because thrust rating, maintenance status and performance can differ between installed engine variants.
A320-200 with IAE V2527-A5 Engines
The IAE V2527-A5 is an established engine option for the Airbus A320-200. Operators considering this aircraft should review their access to appropriately qualified crew, maintenance capability, spare-engine support and approved technical procedures for the V2500-A5 family.
The V2527-A5 designation identifies the installed engine more precisely. Nevertheless, the aircraft’s maintenance status, modification standard and individual performance data must still be reviewed before confirming an operation.

Why the Engine Configuration Matters
The two aircraft share the same basic A320-200 dimensions and general operating role. However, the installed engine family remains an important consideration when selecting an aircraft for an ACMI programme.
The responsible AOC holder must confirm that it has the approvals, qualified personnel, maintenance arrangements and technical support required for the exact aircraft and engine configuration. The review may include:
- Flight-crew and engineering experience with the engine family
- Maintenance-programme and reliability requirements
- Access to approved maintenance organisations
- Spare-engine and component support
- Aircraft and engine modification status
- Performance requirements for the proposed routes and airports
- Compatibility with the planned operating environment
For this reason, the engine type forms part of the technical and operational review for every proposed programme.
What Is Included in an A320 ACMI Lease?
ACMI stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance. Under a typical A320 ACMI arrangement, the agreed package covers four principal components:
- Aircraft: An airworthy Airbus A320-200 suitable for the approved programme.
- Crew: The required flight and cabin crew, subject to the agreement and applicable regulations.
- Maintenance: Technical support and maintenance required to keep the aircraft serviceable and airworthy.
- Insurance: The aircraft and operational insurance specified in the contract.
Fuel, airport handling, navigation charges, catering, crew accommodation and other variable operating costs are allocated according to the agreement. Therefore, every proposal must clearly define the responsibilities of each party.
How Is an A320 Wet-Lease Programme Operated?
Under a standard wet lease, the supplying AOC holder operates the aircraft under its own Air Operator Certificate and carries the applicable operational responsibilities. The lessee determines the required schedule, destinations, capacity and commercial programme within the agreed contractual and regulatory framework.
Subject to the necessary approvals, the service may use the lessee’s airline designator and flight number. However, the flight number does not determine which AOC governs the operation. The operating approvals, contractual structure and applicable regulations establish operational responsibility.
How ACMI Lease Provides A320 Capacity
ACMI Lease works with aircraft through several commercial and operational structures. Depending on the programme, the proposed solution may involve an aircraft owned or managed by ACMI Lease, an aircraft dry-leased or placed with a partner AOC holder, or an aircraft acquired or financed with our involvement.
We may also develop a solution using capacity from an established partner fleet or a suitable third-party aircraft. This structure allows us to consider the aircraft, engine configuration, operating platform, technical requirements and commercial programme together.
Where a partner AOC holder will operate the aircraft, that operator must confirm the aircraft’s operational suitability and its ability to perform the proposed programme. ACMI Lease can coordinate the commercial requirement, aircraft access and discussions with the relevant operating partner.
Every proposed programme remains subject to confirmation by ACMI Lease and, where applicable, by the responsible AOC holder, together with aircraft availability, operational feasibility, regulatory approval and agreed commercial terms.
When Can an A320 Wet Lease Be Useful?
An Airbus A320 wet lease may provide additional capacity without requiring the lessee to arrange every operational component separately. Airlines may consider an A320 ACMI solution for:
- Seasonal or peak-period passenger demand
- Temporary replacement of an aircraft undergoing maintenance
- Delayed aircraft deliveries or fleet transitions
- Launching or testing a new route
- Adding frequencies to an established network
- Supporting operations while longer-term fleet arrangements are completed
- Responding to an unexpected operational disruption
The A320-200 may be particularly useful where a smaller narrow-body or regional aircraft does not provide sufficient seating capacity, while a larger aircraft would add unnecessary capacity.
A320 ACMI Lease or Dry Lease?
An ACMI lease supplies the aircraft together with the principal operational services required to fly it. By comparison, a dry lease normally supplies only the aircraft. The dry lessee must provide the crew, maintenance arrangements, operational insurance and AOC required to operate it.
Consequently, ACMI can be suitable when capacity is required quickly or for a defined operating period. A dry lease may suit an airline seeking longer-term fleet control that already has the necessary personnel, approvals and operational infrastructure.
For a broader explanation, read our guide to wet lease and dry lease arrangements.
