Air Transat to lease 10 new Airbus A321neo LRs from AirCap

AerCap Holdings has announced it has signed an agreement with Canada-based Air Transat for the lease of 10 Airbus A321neo LRs. The airline will become the first North American Airbus A321LR operator when the aircraft enter into service starting in 2019. AerCap is the world’s largest Airbus A320neo Family lessor, with 220 aircraft owned and on order. “The A321neo LRs will perfectly complete our fleet of A330s and B737s,” said Jean-Marc Eustache, President and Chief Executive Officer of Transat. He added, “These aircraft are also an ideal solution for replacing our A310s.”
