Griffin Global Asset Management has announced a first delivery under a purchase and leaseback deal with TUI Group for two Boeing 737-8 aircraft.
“Griffin is excited to have TUI as a new customer. We are looking forward to building a long-term relationship with TUI and advancing their sustainability goals with one of the most modern and environmentally progressive aircraft available in the market,” said Eric Hild, senior vice president of marketing at Griffin. “These new 737-8s will further enhance TUI’s ability to offer the highest quality customer service in the leisure market by providing high levels of passenger comfort, significantly reduced fuel consumption, and longer-range capability.”
With TUI gearing up for what is expected to be a busy summer travel season, the second aircraft will be delivered during the first quarter of 2023.
“These two Boeing 737-8s are an important addition to our fleet, characterised by considerably lower fuel consumption and noise emissions than the airplanes that they replace. This contributes to our aim to reduce the environmental impact of holidays and to maintain our top ranking among the world’s most carbon-efficient airlines," said Patricia Verheijen, head of fleet finance at TUI Group.
