Aircraft asset manager Stratos arranged the sale of two Airbus A330- 200 aircraft for Etihad Airways in the past two weeks, continuing a deal flow involving 10 widebodies to different buyers and lessees over the past 12 months.
The engines from the aircraft, MSNs 825 and 831, were sold to a large international operator while the airframes were sold in a separate transaction to AerFin.
“The placement of these aircraft has been challenging, but we are delighted to have assisted Etihad in finding an optimal solution for the aircraft,” Jamie Carter, commercial director at Stratos, said. “This sale confirms not only our ability to find aircraft solutions for small and large airline clients alike but also our ability to place widebody and narrow body aircraft in all types of markets.”
