Two 737-800 Freighters Leased to Kenya Airways

February 20, 2024 – Fort Lauderdale, Florida – GA Telesis, LLC (“GAT”) the pioneering leader in integrated aviation services, announces the first of two deliveries of Boeing 737-800SF freighters to Kenya Airways. The aircraft is part of the GA Telesis owned fleet and was delivered to Kenya Airways as part of a two aircraft transaction.
