Thomas Cook Airlines debuts A330 leased from AirTanker
Thomas Cook Airlines has made its first commercial flights with an Airbus A330-200 being operated under a three-year “damp lease” agreement with the UK’s AirTanker Services. One of five A330s from a “surge” fleet contained within AirTanker’s Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) deal with the UK Ministry of Defence, the aircraft registered G-VYGK has been adapted for airline service after originally being delivered as a Voyager tanker/transport.

Excellent business. Get a fleet for military use but when demand is low, lease to a civilian operator on understanding that aircraft can be recalled in an emergency.
