Air Lease executed a long-term lease placement for one Airbus A330-200 aircraft with HiSky. Scheduled to deliver to the European carrier in 2023, the A330-200 aircraft will join one A319-100, four A320-200s and two A321-200neo LR aircraft currently on lease to HiSky from Air Lease.

“We are pleased to continue our support of HiSky Europe with the lease of this first widebody aircraft to the airline,” David Beker, senior vice president of marketing and head of aircraft sales and trading at Air Lease, said. “After two and a half years of steady and successful growth with their all-ALC narrowbody fleet, HiSky came to us ready to launch widebody operations, and ALC is delighted to provide high-quality aircraft that will enable the carrier to realize their commercial objectives.”

“Over the past two years, we’ve experienced consistent growth that has brought us to this pivotal moment — the moment when we are prepared to acquire our first widebody aircraft,” Iulian Scorpan, CEO of HiSky, said. “We’ve now become the fourth-largest air carrier at Romania’s primary airport and the largest operator of Airbus aircraft registered in Romania. Our partnership with ALC has undeniably proven to be a successful one. The aircraft they have provided us have been instrumental in helping HiSky achieve record-breaking passenger levels during this summer season. Having accomplished all the goals we set for ourselves over the years, we’re profoundly grateful for the trust and support of our partners as we embark on this exciting new venture.”
