EVA Airways to lease six new B777-300ERs from GECAS

GE Capital Aviation Services Limited (GECAS) has signed an agreement to lease four B777-300ERs to Taiwan’s EVA Airways, following a lease of two B777-300ER aircraft in February 2014.

Delivery of the six aircraft is scheduled for 2016 and 2017.

Norman C.T. Liu, president and chief executive officer of GECAS, said: “We have a strong and positive long-term relationship with EVA that dates back more than 10 years ago. We are delighted to help them upgrade and expand their fleet with the latest long-haul aircraft available.”

GECAS currently leases 11 aircraft to EVA including three A330-200s, four A321-200s and four B747-400SF freighters. GECAS signed an agreement in 2011 to lease eight A321-200s to EVA and will deliver the remaining three A321-200s in 2014.
