In Wednesday’s announcement, Air Lease Corporation’s Senior Vice President, David Beker, said,


“We are pleased to announce this agreement to deliver our third Airbus A320 family aircraft to HiSky. This young A320 will be joining HiSky’s all-ALC leased fleet of A319/A320 aircraft. Our team is honored that the leadership of HiSky has chosen to collaborate exclusively with ALC to launch their airline this year under challenging circumstances and we believe HiSky is well positioned for long-term growth and success.”


Also commenting on the new lease agreement, HiSky’s Chief Executive Officer, Iulian Scorpan, added,


“We are happy with the progress of our operations and the response that we got from our core markets.

We are grateful to Air Lease Corporation, our trustful partner, that has appropriate solutions and expertise to sustain our growth.”
