MC Aviation Partners (MCAP) announced today that it has delivered one new Boeing 737-800 aircraft to Skymark Airlines Inc. (Skymark) on the basis of operating lease. This is the first one of the two 737-800s that have been ordered by MCAP with Boeing and have been committed to be leased to Skymark for eight years. MCAP, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, which is one of the pioneers in aircraft operating lease business for Japanese airlines, is pleased to announce that this was the first occasion for MCAP to place an order with an aircraft manufacturer and is the first occasion to lease aircraft to Skymark.
