Additional 777 for Austrian

TIN news:  Austrian Airlines has signed a lease agreement with AerCap for a single Boeing 777-200ER.  The aircraft, OE-LPF (c/n 28692), which was formerly with Aeroméxico, is due to be delivered in January 2018.

AerCap President and CCO Philip Scruggs said, “The 777 remains a work-horse of the industry.  This transaction proves the continued demand for the aircraft type.  We have leased 777-200ERs to both scheduled flag carriers and leisure operators.  The combination of size and performance makes the 777-200ER an ideal aircraft for Austrian Airlines’ fleet requirements.”

Austrian’s current fleet includes five Boeing 777-200ERs.
