Aircraft Register Update February 2026  

Main photo: Airbus A330‑300P2F freighter EI‑LKE is operated by ASL Airlines Ireland under a wet lease agreement for Saudia Cargo. ASL supplies the aircraft, crews, maintenance, and insurance, while Saudia Cargo controls the routes and cargo sales. The arrangement allows Saudia Cargo to rapidly add medium‑ to long‑haul capacity without committing to direct ownership, supporting growth in e‑commerce and express freight as part of Saudi Arabia’s logistics hub strategy. It was pictured in Shannon in January by Malcolm Nason.
