MONTE Expands Special Missions Portfolio with Lease of Thrush 710P Firefighting Aircraft
MONTE is pleased to announce the long term lease of one Thrush 710P aircraft with PLYSA for aerial firefighting operations in Spain.
PLYSA is a long-standing client of MONTE and a specialist operator providing wildfire suppression services under government-backed firefighting missions. To support wildfire preparedness efforts ahead of the upcoming fire season in Spain, MONTE is proud to facilitate the deployment of the aircraft into Europe, where it will support critical aerial firefighting operations and strengthen rapid-response capabilities during periods of heightened wildfire risk.
The Thrush 710P is a proven aerial application platform, well-suited to firefighting operations given its payload capacity, operational flexibility, and ability to perform effectively in demanding environments. Its deployment further enhances MONTE’s growing portfolio of special missions assets focused on mission critical aviation.
This transaction underscores MONTE’s continued partnership with PLYSA and reinforces its strategy of supporting mission-critical operations through flexible, long-term capital solutions. MONTE is pleased to further strengthen this relationship in enabling vital firefighting services and enhancing resilience against wildfire risks.
