SAS Scandinavian Airlines (SK, Copenhagen Kastrup) has entered into a sale/lease-back transaction with Aviation Capital Group for ten A320-200Ns due for delivery through early 2024.

"We continue to make progress with our transformation plan, and these new sale and leaseback agreements are an important part of that - securing competitive financing for our renewed fleet of modern and fuel-efficient aircraft. We are pleased to renew our long-term strategic partnership with ACG, one of the world's leading aircraft financing partners," President and Chief Executive Anko van der Werff said.

The ch-aviation Commercial Aviation Aircraft Data module shows that SAS already operates fifty-seven A320-200Ns, including twenty-one placed with its SAS Connect (SL, London Heathrow) production carrier. The airline has a further twenty-three A320-200Ns on firm order from Airbus. The bulk of its existing A320neo are dry-leased with just eleven aircraft of the type owned by SAS. The ch-aviation Commercial Aviation Aircraft Ownership Data module shows that SAS has no aircraft leased from Aviation Capital Group so far.

ACG's current A320neo portfolio comprises 53 aircraft placed with 20 carriers.
