Winter Lease

Post by CH47D »

With the summer in Europe being over , does anybody have any information about the winter-leases to carrier in the U.S. or Canada. In the past SunCountry operated several Transavia 738's in the winter , but the economical downturn these leases might not happen during 2009-2010 or am i wrong. Would like to hear if anybody knows if any aircraft are migrating to the U.S. for the winter.

SunCountry is facing Chapter 11/major cuts in the operations and also dropped several planes to PrivatAir Germany so these are very unlikely to hire planes then ....

Looks like we will not get any European carriers sleeping over in the U.S. during the winter.
