I would doubt either of those as the growth customer for SkyLease. Wrong size aircraft for Amazon, and I would think that either of those would require a higher level of reliability than SkyLease could reasonably be expected to provide.
Western Global flies the same types as SkyLease does, and has proven it can do it with reliability sufficient to service UPS on a track charter basis over a significant period. (I know SkyLease did some Peak work, but it's a different animal.) I would think that Western Global would be the next carrier for DHL, if it needed aircraft of that size, before SkyLease.
OTOH, I tend to look at this stuff rationally, so I could well be completely wrong...
