Air Zimbabwe acquires B737-500 on long-term lease from Air Zambezi
(Zambia) for use on daily flights to Victoria Falls and Johannesburg. Carrier
also plans to phase out its B737-200s as part of fleet replacement program. AVITAS (US) forecasts more than 24,000 aircraft in
service by 2015, up around 25 percent more than current 19,000. Of current
19,000, 35 percent are on operating lease and number expected to grow more than
25 percent to 8,500 in 2015, driven by both new aircraft deliveries as well as
sale-leaseback transactions. EU bans all
Mozambique airlines from its airspace after update to blacklist. Also banned
are B767s in operation with Air
Madagascar due to persisting deficiencies, while all four argo
air carriers from Indonesia — Cardig Air, Republic Express, Asia Link and Air
Maleo — and one air carrier from Ukraine — UMAir — have been removed from list |
