Japan's Japan Airlines (JAL) has 'disposed of' two B747 freighters to USA-based global jet lease/sale firm Aircastle. Delivery is due this quarter.

Aircastle ceo Ron Wainshal commented: "We are adding two latest-generation freighter aircraft to our fleet to address the strong demand for modern, fuel-efficient cargo capacity.

"Importantly, we already have signed letters of intent for long-term lease of both aircraft with industry-leading cargo carriers."
