Avation's Executive Chairman, Jeff Chatfield said: "We are pleased to conclude the sale of this aircraft in furtherance of our desire to transition to newer low CO2 aircraft.  Our transitions team successfully managed to repossess the aircraft and swiftly shop visit both engines and the airframe.  This sale is in line with our management objective to transition, lease or sell any remaining off-lease aircraft by 30 June 2023."
