Stellwagen orders C295 transport aircraft

Aviation financier and lessor Stellwagen, a 100% subsidiary of Acasta Enterprises, a Canadian public company (AEF), has signed a firm order for 12 Airbus C295 medium transport aircraft in the first sale to a leasing company achieved by Airbus Defence and Space. The agreement, which includes options for a further 12 aircraft, positions Stellwagen to address civil markets including the humanitarian sector, freight operators in austere environments, and government agencies such as search and rescue services. The C295 is a nine-tonne capacity, ramp-equipped, medium transport and mission aircraft in-service with 28 operators in 25 countries. Geoff Beattie, Chairman of Acasta,
