Feb 08, 2010 (newstodate): SAAB Aircraft Leasing expects the current trend with a resurgence in the turboprop market to continue into 2010.
The company recorded 13 transactions, including five sales, six leases, new and extensions, and two third-party placements in 2009, mostly concerning the SAAB 340 aircraft.
-In 2010, we predict that the trend will continue as regionals and majors adjust their fleet planning. As larger legacy airlines are withdrawing from many regional markets, this void can be aptly filled by many of our operators flying the Saab 340 today. This shift, we feel, will also be a springboard for at least two new Saab operators, says Michael Magnusson, Saab Aircraft Leasing President and CEO.
With its head-office located near Washington, DC, and with regional offices in Stockholm, Sweden, Tokyo, Japan and Nairobi, Kenya, Saab Aircraft Leasing manages a portfolio of about 115 Saab 340 and Saab 2000 aircraft leased to 15 airlines around the world.
