On Friday (September 9, 2022), Air Lease Corporation (ALC) announced the placement of two new Airbus A321neoLRs on long-term lease with HiSky. The aircraft are scheduled for delivery in March 2023 from ALC’s orderbook with Airbus, joining one Airbus A319 and four A320s currently on lease to the European carrier from ALC and its managed vehicles Blackbird I and II.

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

“ALC is pleased to announce this placement with HiSky for two new A321neo LRs. HiSky launched in 2020 with used A320 family aircraft exclusively provided by ALC and they have grown their business consistently since then. The airline is now ready to take the next step in their growth plans and we are happy to support this expansion with two brand-new A321neo LRs.”

Also commenting on the new leases placements, HiSky’s CEO, Iulian Scorpan, added,

“The addition of these two new A321neo LR aircraft is the right ingredient to sustain our growth strategy in 2023. We are grateful to ALC for the opportunity to operate the industry’s most modern aircraft offering top performance, range, and fuel-efficiency. Starting in April 2023, HiSky passengers will benefit from several long-range nonstop flight solutions to be announced this autumn.”
