Air Lease delivered one new Airbus A330-900 to Delta Air Lines under sale-leaseback with Blackbird Capital II.

This is the first delivery of two new A330-900s under sale-leaseback between Delta and Blackbird Capital II. In addition, in October 2020, Air Lease delivered one new A330-900 to Delta from its order book, with an additional new A330-900 set to deliver to Delta from Air Lease’s order book this year.

“ALC is absolutely delighted with its growing relationship with Delta,” John L. Plueger, CEO and president of Air Lease, said. “These transactions exemplify the complimentary nature of ALC’s strong order book coupled with sale-leasebacks and the use of our management platforms. We are honored that Delta entrusted ALC with this business.”
