Feb 6, 2007 (newstodate): SAAB Aircraft Leasing is seeing strong demand, but limited supply, in the lease market for SAAB 340 and 2000 aircraft.
-In Europe interest is high but supply is low. We are currently out of SAAB 340 stock, and have limited availability on the SAAB 2000 side, says Matthew Smith, SAAB Aircraft Leasing director of marketing.
-Blue1 is returning their aircraft this year, but we have already a number of interested parties from all over Europe ready to take those aircraft. City Airline in Sweden is currently sub-leasing two 2000 aircraft from Blue1, and Skyways the other three 2000s from Blue1.
-Adria Airways seems to be happy and doing a good job with their two SAAB 340 freighter aircraft, and Carpatair continues to grow and is now the largest Saab 2000 operator in Europe with 11 SAAB 2000 aircraft, or 13 if you include the two operated by Moldavian Airlines, says Mr Smith.
Last year, SAAB Aircraft Leasing landed a major contract in Australia for 25 late-model SAAB 340 aircraft.
