- AerSale’s Recent Acquisition of 24 Boeing
757-200 Passenger Aircraft Stored at AerSale’s Roswell, NM Facility
Will Fuel Demand for More Dedicated Freighter Aircraft -
AerSale, Inc., a leading global provider of aviation products
and services (NASDAQ: ASLE), announced today that it has inducted
the first of its 24-owned Boeing 757-200 aircraft for
passenger-to-freighter (“P2F”) conversion at its heavy-MRO center
in Goodyear, AZ. The first aircraft was delivered by Boeing in 1999
to American Airlines. All 24 of these aircraft are powered by
Rolls-Royce RB211-535 engines, making this fleet the narrow-body
freighter of choice due to its attractive payload, range and cost
of ownership characteristics.
AerSale’s Goodyear, AZ heavy-MRO facility has been performing
P2F conversions on 757 aircraft since 2013. “There is no rival to
the B757 as a freighter, and with our younger, high-spec, and well
maintained fleet we are ideally positioned to support cargo
airlines with turnkey freighters to meet the booming e-commerce
market,” stated Craig Wright, AerSale’s President of Aircraft &
Engine Management. “Post-COVID, the lack of freight capacity has
been further exacerbated by the dramatic decrease in passenger
aircraft flights whose cargo holds have typically carried the bulk
of global air freight.”
AerSale’s fleet of 24 B757-200 aircraft are presently stored at
its Roswell, New Mexico MRO facility. AerSale will ferry these
aircraft to its Goodyear, AZ facility for the performance of P2F
conversions.
Nicolas Finazzo, AerSale’s Chairman & CEO added, “Because of
AerSale’s integrated product and services offerings, we are well
positioned to transition a large fleet of passenger aircraft to
their best and highest use, whether through outright sale, leasing,
or P2F conversions, and at both the whole aircraft and component
level for engines and used serviceable material (“USM”)
piece-parts. We are confident we can offer our customers these high
quality products at competitive prices.”
