Apr 18, 2024 (newstodate): With the delivery of one more Airbus A320neo, Aviation Capital Group LLC, ACG, has completed its multiple-aircraft sale-leaseback transaction with SAS.
The Airbus A320neo on long-term lease is thus the 10th and last aircraft comprised by the transaction with ACG signed in March 2023 as part of the airline's transformation plan.
Looking ahead, SAS will be operating a fleet of 134 aircraft, despite the recent drastic cuts and changes by its Forward-strategy.
Of these 134 aircraft, only 22 will reportedly be owned by the SAS Group; another 77 aircraft are placed on various re-negotiated lease contracts, while the remaining 35 aircraft are operated on wet-lease contracts with partners including Xfly and CityJet.
