(Sharecast News) - Commercial passenger aircraft leasing company Avation has negotiated a six-year lease extension on an Asian flag carrier-operated Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The London-listed firm said the extension rent was at a market rate, with the expiry date for the lease extended to June 2028 from June 2022.

"We feel it is prudent in terms of risk mitigation to extend the duration of this lease to the year 2028, given the uncertain near term outlook for midlife narrow body commercial passenger aircraft," said executive chairman Jeff Chatfield.

At 1446 BST, shares in Avation were down 3.77% at 144.35p.
