Aer Lingus to lease four extra aircraft

RBS Aviation Capital has entered into an agreement with Aer Lingus for the lease of four A319-100s, two of which will enter service with the airline next year, with the remaining two joining in 2013.

In May and June RBS Aviation Capital delivered four aircraft through sale and leaseback transactions. Three B737-800s — the second, third and fourth of a four-aircraft deal — were delivered on lease to TUI Travel airlines and one B737-800 was delivered on lease to Virgin Australia — the first of a three-aircraft transaction.

In addition, the company recently completed several other deliveries from its existing fleet, including two B737-800s to Nordstar Airlines, three B737-800s to Sun Express and the second of two CRJ200s to AK Bars on finance lease.
