AELF Acquires Two Airbus A330 Aircraft on Lease to Wamos Air
CHICAGO, November 9, 2026 - Aircraft Engine Lease Finance Inc. (“AELF”) has acquired a 2016 vintage 737-800 aircraft on lease to Aerolineas Argentinas. This acquisition marks AELF’s third 737-800 on lease to the Argentinian flag carrier.
"We are thrilled to welcome Wamos Air as a lessee and remain committed to our longstanding investment thesis for the A330 platform," said Joe Cirillo, President & Chief Commercial Officer of AELF. "The A330's mid-life capital cost relative to new-technology aircraft, coupled with limited current-generation alternatives, supports its sustained value. With OEM production rates insufficient to meet mid-term demand, we expect continued narrowbody-like liquidity from Trent- and GE-powered A330 variants."
AELF's A330 fleet is leased to a diverse set of airlines across North America, Europe, and Africa, complementing the company's narrowbody portfolio of 737 aircraft.
Wamos Air is a charter and wet-lease operator with an all-A330 fleet.
