Stratos, a leading aircraft investment specialist and asset manager, has delivered one Boeing 737-800 on long-term operating lease to Transavia France.
The delivery forms part of Transavia France’s fleet expansion, which will see the Air France–KLM subsidiary grow its fleet to 71 aircraft.
The aircraft (MSN 37253), which forms part of a portfolio managed on behalf of a UK-based fund manager, has just been redelivered from TUI (UK) and will undergo various post-delivery cabin and avionic modification works, including some Transavia-specific customisation.
This delivery follows Stratos’ recent delivery of two Boeing 737-800 aircraft purchased from Japan Airlines and transitioned to a leading European airline conglomerate as well as the delivery of the first of two IAE-powered A320s to a European carrier on behalf of a Middle Eastern investor. Over the past 12 months, Stratos has remarketed 20 aircraft to 11 airlines/investors and sourced a further eight aircraft (includes both delivered and committed).
Camille Pousseur, Marketing Director of Stratos said: “We are delighted to have partnered with Transavia and to have delivered this aircraft to them. Our teams have worked very hard to achieve this outcome and we look forward to a long and successful relationship.”
Transavia, the low-cost airline of the Air France-KLM Group, operates more than 200 air routes with departures from France (Paris, Nantes, Lyon and Montpellier), the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Rotterdam/The Hague, Eindhoven) and Belgium (Brussels) to Europe and the Mediterranean basin.
