On behalf of Sverigeflyg Leasing AB of Sweden, Skyworld Aviation has arranged the sale of three Saab 340B aircraft to NextJet, also of Sweden. Serial numbers 176 (SE-KXI), 215 (SE-LJS) and 221 (SE-LJT) have been on lease to NextJet since 2010 and the sale contract was concluded at the end of last year. Skyworld Aviation has previously leased/sold three Saab 340 aircraft and two CT7 engines on behalf of Sverigeflyg Leasing AB. The specialist leasing company is owned by Braathens Aviation and is shortly to change its name to Braathens Leasing Sweden AB to reflect its ownership. Braathens Aviation also owns Malmo Aviation, the CSeries launch customer.
Peter Greensmith, Director at Skyworld Aviation says “We are still very active in the Saab 340 market, having placed seven aircraft in the last 12 months, and we are delighted to continue our strong relationship with Sverigeflyg Leasing with this latest transaction”.
