Air Lease entered a long-term lease placement agreement for one used Airbus A330-200 aircraft with Sentra Airways in the United Kingdom. Scheduled to deliver this summer, the A330-200 will be the first aircraft in the fleet of the UK startup airline.

“ALC is pleased to announce this lease placement for one A330-200 with Sentra Airways,” Lauren Kervick, assistant vice president of marketing for Air Lease, said. “Sentra has an exciting growth and business plan operating from the UK to West Africa, and we look forward to growing our relationship over the coming years.”

“Sentra Airways is delighted to have finally reached this significant milestone,” Ishmael Musah, chairman and accountable manager of Sentra Airways, said.

“We would like to express our thanks to ALC for being our lease partner for the first Sentra Airways A330-200,” Bruce Fenton, executive director of Sentra Airways, said. “We look forward to further collaborations with ALC and completing the regulatory approvals to gain our UK AOC certification later this year.”
