5 June, 2018: Vallair, an aviation company headquartered in Luxembourg has signed a long-term Financial Lease with Indonesian operator, Cardig Air, for a Boeing 737-400F. After conversion in the USA, the final compliance checks for Indonesian aviation were undertaken at Vallair’s MRO facility in Montpellier, France and the aircraft then landed in Jakarta mid-May.
“The aircraft will be scheduled to connect Jakarta with flights to Saigon and Southern China (Shenzhen)” says Peter Koster, Head of Cargo Conversions Business Unit for Vallair. “There is strong potential in the South East Asian airfreight market with rapidly increasing connections to the Chinese mainland. We have supported Cardig Air in their move from operating a B737-300F to the B737-400F model with increased cargo capacity. We are confident that our on-going assistance will help to underpin their development and build a long term business partnership.”
