The lessor's CEO Aengus Kelly had met with EgyptAir chairman Ahmed Adel on May 8, 2025, in Cairo to discuss new opportunities for collaboration, focussing on providing advanced aircraft to enhance EgyptAir's fleet modernisation and expansion strategy.
“EgyptAir is a key partner in Africa and the Middle East, and we are proud to support their ambitious growth strategy,” said Kelly.
Adel noted: “This partnership enables us to integrate cutting-edge aircraft, supporting our goals of operational efficiency, environmental sustainability, and an elevated customer experience.”
