Lonrho expands Fly540 African fleet with 3 BAE 146 planes
LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Lonrho PLC, the conglomerate with a structured portfolio of African investments, said it is adding three BAE 146 aircraft to its African fleet.
Two BAE 146-300 100-seaters and one BAE 146-200 70-seater will be delivered within the next eight weeks and will expand the Fly540 operational network across sub-Saharan Africa, the group said.
The aircraft are part of a planned rollout of 12 aircraft for the company over the coming year and will continue to develop the airline model from its operational base in Kenya to other hubs across sub-Saharan Africa, the company added.
Executive chairman David Lenigas said Fly540 is set to fly to eight African countries early in 2008.
