World Star will soon expand its widebody leasing portfolio after inducting its first 777-300ERSF Big Twin conversion with IAI at the Ascent Aviation Services facility in Arizona.

The lessor recently reached a lease deal with Saltchuk Aviation to place a 737-800SF with the company’s Alaska-based Northern Air Cargo subsidiary and has delivered a 737-400F to its Aloha Air Cargo subsidiary.

World Star has continued expanding its footprint across South America in the past couple of years, delivering its first 737-400F to Colombia-based Aerosucre earlier this year.
