Transactions keep climbing in November

The number of Freighter Aircraft Transactions (FATs) Cargo Facts recorded crescendoed to a total of 140 in November, another new monthly high. Even in what has already been an exceptional year in terms of orders, deliveries, inductions, redeliveries, leases, acquisitions, placements, etc., November was far above the monthly average and the third month to see triple digits, after 100 in June and 120 in October. Several large orders — particularly from the Dubai Airshow — helped bump up November’s figure, including the first commitments for the A350F; DHL adding nine more 767-300BCFs; Icelease ordering eleven 737-800BCF conversions; and Aero Capital Solutions’ top-up order for thirteen 737-800SFs.
