"We are very pleased that Guggenheim Aviation Partners has chosen to be a launch customer for the A330-200F. The decision by such an investment firm to acquire the A330-200 freighter is a great endorsement for our new freighter. It clearly demonstrates Guggenheim's foresight and the confidence investors put in the value of our new freighter."
