APOC has signed a 12-month green-time lease agreement for a CFM56-5A engine with Condor.
Secured as a ‘spare’ engine by Condor’s technical team, it is anticipated that it will be installed immediately on one of the fleet’s A320 aircraft throughout the duration of the lease.
“Condor is currently renewing its short-medium-haul fleet with brand-new A320neo and A321neo. Until the completion of the modernisation we are still operating A320ceo aircraft that are maintained by Condor Technik, our own maintenance organisation,” says Ronald Restorf, asset manager at Condor.
Restorf added: “For these aircraft and their maintenance, we need a reliable partner that supports us with the engine handling and whose focused portfolio is closely aligned to our lease requirement.”
Condor has previously leased engines from APOC and this asset will return to the APOC engine portfolio ready for teardown and part-out next year.
