AerSale leases Boeing 757 freighter to third Central Asian carrier
US lessor continues shaping fleet of region’s startup cargo airlines
US-based AerSale has confirmed it supplied a Boeing 757-200PCF freighter recently delivered to Kazakh carrier Jupiter Jet. The 24-year-old aircraft was leased to the airline following its acquisition earlier this year by prominent businessman Kanat Kopbaev to advance Kazakhstan’s air cargo sector.
With this transaction, AerSale has provided Boeing 757-200PCF converted freighters to three Central Asian cargo carriers building their fleets around the type.
In March, AerSale delivered a similar aircraft to Uzbek cargo startup Stratos Freight, which launched commercial operations in May. Throughout 2025, the lessor also delivered two B757-200PCFs to another emerging Uzbek operator, SkyGuard Airlines.
AerSale is a supplier of aftermarket commercial aircraft, engines, and proprietary engineered solutions.
The Boeing 757 freighter variant is widely regarded as well suited for express cargo and e-commerce networks.
“We are pleased to support Jupiter Jet’s fleet expansion with this Boeing 757 freighter,” said Craig Wright, Senior vice president & head of Asset Management. “The 757 remains one of the industry’s most versatile and dependable medium-haul freighters.”
“The aircraft’s performance and economics make it an excellent fit for our expanding cargo network, allowing us to better serve our customers while positioning Jupiter Jet for continued growth,” – said Erik Kozbagarov, Chief Executive Officer of Jupiter Jet.
