Sahaab Aircraft Leasing, Jazeera Airways Group's fully-owned aircraft leasing subsidiary, has placed two Airbus A320 aircraft on long-term leases with TAP Portugal airlines.
Tap Portugal is based in Lisbon and has been in operation since 1945. It's a key European gateway at the crossroads of Africa, North America and South America.
Jazeera Airways Group chairman Marwan Boodai said in a press statment on Sunday that "with the recent placement, Sahaab Aircraft Leasing has assets distributed across the globe with A-list customers in the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia." In addition to the two aircraft placed with TAP Portugal, Jazeera Airways Group also has four aircraft A320s placed with Virgin America since 2010, one Airbus A320 placed with SriLankan Airlines since 2010, and one aircraft placed with Flynas in 2013.
Sahaab Aircraft Leasing was launched in October 2008 with Jazeera Airways as its first customer. The leasing company was then fully acquired by Jazeera Airways Group in 2010
