Used Aircraft Market Sees Boost From Spirit Fleet Sale
When Spirit Airlines shut down in early May, its fleet of 114 aircraft, including 66 leased and 48 owned, became available for sale. The US Bankruptcy Court recently approved the sale of 20 A320-family aircraft to CSDS Asset Management, which is expected to feed the A320neo USM market. The airline had rejected its leases from 15 lessors on May 8. This development was reported by Aviation Week.
