Dublin based global aircraft lessor, AWAS, announced today that it has delivered a second Boeing 737-800 passenger aircraft to Skymark Airlines. This follows an initial 737-800 which was delivered by AWAS to the expanding Japanese airline earlier this quarter.

This 26th passenger aircraft will contribute to the expansion of Skymark’s domestic network which will serve as a strong base for their launch of international routes planned for 2014. Skymark Airlines began service in September 1998, and today serves approximately 6 million passengers per year with a fleet of 25 aircraft. Skymark offers low fares for their 77 daily flights within a 24 route network covering Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south.
