Jun 21, 2018 (newstodate): Air Lease Corporation has announced a long-term lease agreements with SAS for two new Airbus A320-200neo aircraft scheduled for delivery in November 2019 and April 2020.
The two aircraft are presumably from the pool of 15 aircraft from leasing companies, part of the announcement in April 2018 for acquisition of 50 A320neo with delivery from spring 2019 through 2023.
The remaining 35 Airbus A320neo will thus be delivered directly in a deal with Airbus.
The aircraft order also includes options for an additional five A320neo. Moreover, SAS has the possibility to increase the number of aircraft that can be leased from lessors.
SAS today operates a fleet of 159 aircraft including 41 wet-leased aircraft operated by other carriers.
67 of the aircraft in the SAS fleet are Boeing 737 aircraft that are to be eventually replaced by new Airbus A320 Family aircraft.
