Air Partner’s aircraft remarketing division Cabot Aviation has been chosen by Turkish Airlines to re-market eight Airbus A330-200 aircraft for sublease.

To be made available through a dry or wet basis, the lease is expected to help the airline to reduce costs, reported Reuters.

The wet lease will include crew, maintenance and insurance of the lease aircraft, and dry lease includes a longer lease period.

“The eight aircraft also have the potential to form their own 'mini fleet'."

Cabot noted that all eight proposed aircraft were manufactured between 2007 and 2011 to a common specification.

Powered by PW4168A-1D engines, the aircraft features a 233t maximum take-off weight (MTOW).

Cabot Aviation senior vice-president Greg Cope said: “These Turkish Airlines aircraft offer an operator the ability to quickly supplement capacity or test markets on a wet lease basis or over a longer term on dry lease.

“The eight aircraft also have the potential to form their own 'mini fleet', even if an operator already has A330s with another engine type or configuration.”

Last month, the company placed an Embraer 170 aircraft with Austrian operator People’s Viennaline on behalf of UK-based company AerFin.

The newly delivered Embraer 170 was already deployed to conduct People’s Viennaline’s regional operations as the second aircraft supporting links between Altenrhein, Switzerland and Vienna, Austria.
