@rschuur_aero Lessor @AerCapNV has acquired 36 @Airbus A320neo aircraft that were ordered by @SpiritAirlines. Deliveries/leases to Spirit are scheduled for 2027 and 2028, offering AerCap access to an important portfolio in the US.
@rschuur_aero The deal is a win/win for both @AerCapNV and @SpiritAirlines , says Aengus Kelly. AerCap gets its hands on the most-popular aircraft (A321neo) very soon. If Spirit would get into trouble, AerCap would have them placed elsewhere in no time.
@rschuur_aero .@SouthwestAir said on Thursday it expects to receive only 20 @BoeingAirplanes MAX 8s this year, down from 58 contractual deliveries. Yet, the airline continues plans to phase out 35 737NGs this year. Two 2025 MAX 7 orders were converted into -8s, with two -7 options exercised.
@sandeeprrao1991 “We see an opportunity to build a hub at #Bengaluru because the airport is new and has great infrastructure. From a geographical perspective, it also allows for connected flows from Africa, Middle East, Asia and Australasia.”
