LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23, 2017 -- Today Air Lease Corporation (NYSE:AL) announced a long term lease agreement with Air New Zealand (NZX:AIR) (ASX:AIZ) for one new Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The aircraft is from ALC’s order book with Boeing and is scheduled for delivery in Q3 2018.
"Air New Zealand is one of ALC’s first and longtime cornerstone airline customers.
