MIAMI – A new member of the global airline family, the British international LCC flypop is excited to reveal it has executed a leasing agreement for several A330-300 aircraft with Avolon, the world’s third-largest aircraft lessor.
The Flypop team had talks with a number of leasing firms over the past few months. However, Avolon proposed the most favorable rate and a backlog of aircraft through 2023. Avolon, based in Ireland, is a global company that offers aircraft leasing and management services to airlines.

UK long-haul start-up carrier Flypop has agreed to lease an Airbus A330-300, as part of a deal involving several aircraft with Irish-based lessor Avolon.
Flypop’s management team has been attempting to establish a new carrier for services between the UK and India for several years – originally being named ‘POP’ for ‘People Over Profit’ with a view to launching in 2016.
Chief executive Navdip Singh Judge says Avolon has offered “the most competitive rate” and a “pipeline” of aircraft to 2023.
FlightGlobal understands that, along with the initial A330, two more aircraft are under consideration, potentially for introduction in 2022.
