The sale and purchase agreement is subject to typical conditions precedent with the transaction expected to close during the course of September.

 

Avation's Executive Chairman, Jeff Chatfield said: "We are pleased to sign this sale agreement. The transaction demonstrates that the secondary market in the latest technology single aisle aircraft is robust and active.  It appears that valuations are improving in this segment for high quality airline credits such as airBaltic. The rationale for the sale, from Avation's perspective, is portfolio management and to increase liquidity."
