Aircraft Engine Lease Finance, Inc. (AELF) has announced the lease of its first Airbus A330-200, MSN 489, to Portugal’s euroAtlantic Airways (EAA). This marks a significant milestone for the Portuguese ACMI operator, which has maintained an all-Boeing fleet throughout its 30-year history.*
“We are proud to partner with EAA on the lease of this A330-200 and support their ambitious fleet development,” said Joe Cirillo, Chief Commercial Officer for AELF. “We specialize in providing tailored, flexible leasing solutions to dynamic operators like EAA, who are expanding their footprint in key global markets.”
With the addition of the A330-200, euroAtlantic is set to enhance its operational capabilities and market presence, signaling what the airline describes as a new era focused on global expansion within the ACMI market. EAA has established itself as a flagship operator for LOT Polish Airlines, Azul, and other respected institutions.
“We are excited to welcome the A330-200 to our fleet,” said Stewart Higginson, CEO and Chairman of euroAtlantic Airways. “The addition represents the next stage in EAA’s journey toward enhancing its operational capabilities and market presence. It further expands our long-haul product offering for the charter and ACMI market segments. We are grateful to AELF for their support and collaboration and look forward to partnering with leading airlines to provide a best-in-class customer experience.”
As euroAtlantic Airways embarks on this new phase, the partnership with AELF is expected to play a pivotal role in its quest to adapt to the evolving demands of the aviation industry.
