Deliveries To Start In November 2008
AerCap Holdings N.V. announced this week it has signed
agreements to lease 10 new Airbus A330-200 aircraft to the Russian
national carrier Aeroflot for lease periods between nine and 10
years. The aircraft are part of the order for 20 A330s that AerCap
placed with Airbus in December 2006, and increased by another 10
aircraft in March 2007.
The aircraft for Aeroflot will be powered by Rolls-Royce engines
and are scheduled to be delivered between November 2008 and April
2010.
"A330s are important additions to our long-range capabilities
and allow us to expand our presence in our strategic markets in
Asia and the Far East," said Dmitry Senatorov, Head of Aeroflot's
Fleet Planning and Aircraft Procurement Department.
Soeren Ferre, AerCap's Head of Aircraft Marketing for Europe,
Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific / CEO of AerCap Group Services
B.V., also commented on the transaction.
"Following our lease agreement for six A320s with Aeroflot in
October last year, we are very pleased to extend our relationship
with Aeroflot through this new transaction and to support their
fleet renewal process. With Aeroflot being one of the world's
biggest airlines and Russia one of the most rapidly growing
aviation markets, this transaction provides a very attractive
business opportunity for us to strengthen our presence in the
region."
JSC Aeroflot - Russian Airlines (AFLT) is the national air
carrier of Russia. As the largest airline in the country, it
carries more than 8 million passengers a year, and together with
its affiliated airlines, more than 10 million combined -- around a
quarter of the total air passenger traffic of Russia.
