ACIA Aero Leasing and Deutsche Aircraft have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which will work towards the leasing firm collaborating with the marketing of the D328 and D328eco aircraft’s firefighting applications and capabilities as a multi-role aircraft.

Wildfires are becoming more and more prevalent and devastating communities and forests every year, and Deutsche Aircraft and ACIA Aero Leasing are joining forces to develop firefighting aircraft that will aid government agencies in deploying aircraft configured for this specific application.

”ACIA believes in supporting the firefighting sector as we see increasing devastation from wildfires in many parts of the world. We support the initiative from Deutsche Aircraft to engage in this sector, where we can offer leasing solutions and support the marketing of their multi-role aircraft,” commented Sameer Adam, Senior Vice President, Commercial of ACIA Aero Leasing.

Dave Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Aircraft, added: “We are delighted to partner with ACIA as the preferred lessor for firefighting aircraft configurations to address the increasing issues of climate change and related devastating fires.”
