Signs New Lease Terms On Eight Frames
BAE Systems Regional Aircraft has
reason to celebrate... as the aircraft management firm signed a new
lease agreement this week with Eurowings for another BAe 146-200,
as well as lease extensions on seven other BAe 146-200/300
jetliners.
The addition of the new aircraft will bring the Eurowings BAe
146 fleet to 15 aircraft when it is delivered early in 2007. The
latest plane is also part of the company's JetSpares support
program.
BAE says this latest agreement with Eurowings -- part of the
Lufthansa Regional group -- means the quad-jet will be operated
well into the next decade. Lufthansa and its regional airlines
offer a two-class service on the 146s, to match up with the larger
narrowbodies in the Lufthansa group fleet.
The Lufthansa Regional group is made up of five airlines:
Lufthansa CityLine, Eurowings, Augsburg Airways and Contact Air of
Germany, together with Air Dolomiti of Italy. Three of these
carriers -- CityLine, Eurowings and Air Dolomiti -- currently
operate a total of 37 Avro RJ/BAe 146s.
SWISS -- which is also part of the Lufthansa Group -- operates
25 Avro RJs to bring the total fleet operated by the Lufthansa
group to 63 Avro RJ/BAe 146s, which is the world's largest fleet of
Avro RJ/BAe 146s operated by one airline group.
The latest commitment to the BAe 146 family by Eurowings comes
only 15 months after significant fleet additions were made by the
airline and Air Dolomiti for a total of eleven BAe 146-300s, and
the largest ever JetSpares support deal was agreed in January this
year with the Lufthansa Regional group.
