MIAMI, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AerSale Corporation (NASDAQ: ASLE), a leading global supplier of aftermarket commercial aircraft, engines, and proprietary engineered solutions, today announced that it has leased a Boeing 757-200PCF aircraft to Mister Air Transport S.R.L., a Romanian-based cargo carrier that will manage the freighter operations for significant shareholder AerCommerce. The aircraft is expected to enter revenue service in October 2026.
“The 757's range and payload make it the ideal aircraft for our customers. AerSale proved to be a professional and responsive partner throughout the process.…”The 757-200PCF freighter marks the launch of Mister Air's own flight operations, flying under its certificate and crews rather than chartering capacity from other carriers. It is among the first units the carrier plans to introduce as it builds a dedicated medium-haul freighter fleet. Operating under a Romanian Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and based at Lódź Władysław Reymont Airport (LCJ), Mister Air will deploy the aircraft on behalf of AerCommerce's established cargo customer base.
Mister Air's strategy targets the "middle-mile" markets, connecting major production and e-commerce gateways with airports across Central and Eastern Europe, alongside parcel programs and worldwide special missions. The Boeing 757-200PCF freighter's combination of long range, payload capacity, and operational reliability is well suited to these routes, allowing frequent, right-sized service where larger widebodies are uneconomic. The carrier intends to grow its freighter fleet over the coming years to meet contracted and anticipated demand.
"We are proud to support Mister Air as it launches its own freighter operations with this Boeing 757-200PCF," said Craig Wright, AerSale’s Senior Vice President & Head of Asset Management. "The 757 remains one of the most capable and sought-after platforms in its segment, and this transaction reflects both the strength of that asset class and AerSale's ability to deliver flight-ready aircraft to operators pursuing ambitious growth. We look forward to supporting Mister Air's fleet as it expands."
"This Boeing 757-200PCF marks an important milestone in Mister Air's growth and the launch of our own flight operations," said Ireneusz Dylczyk, Chief Executive Officer of Mister Air. "The 757's range and payload make it the ideal aircraft for our customers. AerSale proved to be a professional and responsive partner throughout the process. This aircraft lays the foundation for the additional freighters we intend to introduce as we scale our network."
The transaction extends AerSale's leasing presence in the European cargo market and underscores the company's ability to deliver leased flight equipment to operators worldwide.
