Aircraft lessor SkyWorks Leasing is auctioning 17 LATAM Airlines Group aircraft currently stored in Victorville, California.
LATAM Airlines Group rejected several leases last year due to its Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. LATAM is currently evaluating the adequate fleet needs for the following years. In a statement, the carrier said:
“Given the filing for voluntary reorganization and restructuring of their debt under Chapter 11 protection in the United States, LATAM is currently evaluating the adequate fleet needs for the following years.”
