AELF Acquires Two Airbus A330 Aircraft on Lease to Wamos Air from AerCap

AELF has acquired two Airbus A330 aircraft currently on lease to Spanish charter and wet-lease operator Wamos Air from entities managed by AerCap.

The transaction includes an Airbus A330-300 manufactured in 2011 and an A330-200 manufactured in 2009, expanding AELF’s portfolio of mid-life widebody aircraft.

The acquisition establishes Wamos Air as a new lessee for AELF, which maintains an investment strategy focused on Airbus A330 aircraft alongside its existing Boeing 737 narrowbody portfolio.

AELF’s A330 fleet is leased to airlines across North America, Europe and Africa, with the company citing the aircraft type’s relatively low acquisition costs compared with newer-generation widebodies as a factor supporting continued investment.

Wamos Air, based in Madrid, operates an all-Airbus A330 fleet providing charter and aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) services.

The companies did not disclose the purchase price, aircraft serial numbers, remaining lease terms or other financial details of the transaction.
