LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE) — Today Air Lease Corporation (NYSE: AL) announced long-term lease placements for two new Airbus A321neo LR aircraft with HiSky.

“ALC is pleased to announce this placement with HiSky for two new A321neo LRs,” said David Beker, Senior Vice President of Air Lease Corporation. “HiSky launched in 2020 with used A320 family aircraft exclusively provided by ALC and they have grown their business consistently since then.
