GA Telesis Adds 737-800 freighters to Kenya Airways fleet

Tuesday, February 20, 2024

GA Telesis, LLC (“GAT”), a pioneering leader in integrated aviation services, has announced the delivery of the first of two Boeing 737-800SF freighters to Kenya Airways. These aircraft are part of GAT’s owned fleet and were delivered to Kenya Airways as part of a two-aircraft transaction.

GAT’s Leasing, Investment, Financing & Trading (“LIFT”) Group is on a growth trajectory, acquiring high-quality assets, investing in maintenance, and placing them on long-term leases. These particular aircraft were acquired by GAT last year and underwent conversion as part of a long-term passenger-to-freighter strategy. Their addition will further enhance Kenya Airways’ expanding cargo operations and ensure ample capacity in and out of East Africa for the foreseeable future.

“We are very pleased to expand our relationship with Kenya Airways and add another strong operator in the African continent. This is Kenya’s first of two Boeing 737-800SF aircraft, and we look forward to supporting them as they continue to expand their fleet,” said David Ellis, Senior Vice President and Head of the Asset Transaction Group.

“Kenya Airways is excited to enter this partnership with GA Telesis. Through this relationship, we have been able to expand our cargo fleet and capacity and have the opportunity to serve our customers even better on the existing routes as well as new cargo destinations from the expanded range,” said Dick Murianki, Cargo Director, Kenya Airways PLC.
