APOC Aviation’s specialist landing gear division has concluded its first landing gear deal with Avion Express Malta, the Maltese-based ACMI and aircraft leasing operator. A freshly overhauled A321-200 from stock replaced its ran-out gear which APOC took in exchange. With several A320 family and B737NG assets already out on lease, or in active exchange programs, the company worked closely with Avion Express Malta to finalize the deal.
Currently around 40% of APOC’s LDG stock is leased, 30% is allocated to exchange programs and the remaining 30% is set up for additional lease opportunities, part-out projects and sales. “We’re looking to purchase prime LDGs for stock and plan to increase our inventory by about 50% over the next 6 months” remarked Karolis Jurkevicius, VP Landing Gear Trading – APOC Aviation. “Identifying suitable assets is always challenging, however we do consider LDGs with leases attached if they fit with our asset criteria of the highest quality.”
