Stratos sells A330s on behalf of Etihad Airways

Independent aircraft asset manager Stratos has arranged the sale of two A330-200 aircraft for Etihad Airways. The MSN 825 and 831 engines were sold to a large unnamed operator while the airframes were sold in a separate transaction to Aerfin. The sale continues a deal flow involving 10 widebodies to different buyers and lessees over the past year. Stratos commercial director Jamie Carter said: “The placement of these aircraft has been challenging but we are delighted to have assisted Etihad in finding an optimal solution for the aircraft.”
