European Training Aircraft Lessor Resumes Business After Halting Operations Due to the Pandemic

4 Air Investments, a Portugal headquartered European training aircraft lessor is back in business after freezing its operations due to the pandemic. “We started operations some months before the pandemic and we had to stop accepting new contracts due to the uncertainty of the industry. We still managed to support several flight schools in Portugal and Spain before Covid hit us. Now that things are controlled and the industry is revamping again we want to start offering our services to flight schools that are looking to grow their fleets,” said 4 Air Investments in a press release.

4 Air Investments is now working on several requests from schools in Portugal, Spain, Angola, and Italy and has received requests from other countries.

“Our leasing terms are very strict but our close relations with the major general aviation aircraft manufacturers enable us to offer cost and time effective solutions to the flight school industry,” added 4 Air Investments.
