Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, May 24th 2010
– Jetscape announced today that Finnair will lease out two 76-seater
Embraer 170 aircraft for four years from the beginning of June.
"At the moment Finnair is not using all
of its Embraer planes in its scheduled traffic programme," says
Maunu Visuri, Managing Director of Finnair Aircraft Finance. "It's
very satisfactory that we are able to make use of our assets by leasing
out the aircraft."
The value of the lease agreement is almost 20 million US dollars. The
leasing arrangements are being made by the US-based Jetscape Inc.
Finnair Aircraft Finance, responsible for administering the Finnair
fleet, either owns or leases a total of ten Embraer 170 aircraft. Of
these two are leased to Finncomm Airlines in Finland. The aircraft
