AerCap has signed agreements with Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA for the lease of ten new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft and eight Boeing 737-800NG aircraft. The aircraft are scheduled to deliver in 2022 and 2023. Norwegian has a long-standing relationship with AerCap, one of the largest aviation leasing companies. With the addition of these aircraft, Norwegian will have a total fleet of 80 aircraft by the summer of 2023.
“The addition of these aircraft will help us achieving our target of building a larger, modern and more fuel-efficient fleet. This will in turn enable us to deliver our products and services in a wide network of routes in the Nordics and to European destinations,” said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian has previously announced several lease agreements that will increase its fleet from the current 51 aircraft to this summer’s fleet of 70.
