“I want to commend our entire team on delivering this first A330, it has been a superbly managed effort and demonstrates the capability of Intrepid to successfully execute on large scale, complex aircraft transitions,” said Olaf Sachau, CEO of Intrepid. “Likewise, with Turkish Airlines we add one of the best managed and globally recognized airlines as a new Intrepid customer.”

“We are very pleased to hand over this first of seven A330-300’s that will deliver to the airline over the coming few months,” added Doug Winter, Intrepid’s president and chief commercial officer. “We appreciate the strong relationship we have forged with Turkish Airlines and, as the world’s leading operator of A330s, we are confident they will realize exceptional value from our aircraft over many years to come.”
