GA Telesis has delivered the first of two scheduled Boeing 737-800SF cargo aircraft to Bluebird Nordic (BBN), an Avia Solutions Group company.
The 737 is owned by Tokyo Century Corporation, GAT's parent company, and was delivered from the Aeronautical Engineering, Inc. (AEI)
aircraft conversion Centre in Alabama.
"This deal reiterates the GA Telesis value-add proposition with respect to managed aircraft, and we are very grateful for the cooperation of both Tokyo Century and BBN,” said David Ellis, senior vice president of GAT's asset transaction group.
GAT managed the conversion and remarketing of the aircraft and will remain involved as lease manager. The company has been operating in the cargo sector for two years.
"We are grateful to Tokyo Century Corporation and GA Telesis for a very professional execution of the transaction - as Bluebird Nordic continues to grow its Boeing 737-800 freighters fleet”, said Audrone Keinyte, Bluebird's chief executive.
