La acción de “fletar” en español la efectúa tanto el que da en alquiler (propietario) como el que toma en alquiler (arrendatario). El verbo inglés “charter” cubre el mismo campo semántico. Sin embargo, el francés tiene dos verbos diferentes: “fréter” significa dar en alquiler (la realiza el propietario) mientras que “affréter” quiere decir tomar en alquiler (efectuada por el arrendatario). 3, record 3, Spanish, - fletar
