Florida-based aircraft leasing company Azorra announced Thursday that it has signed a deal with JetBlue for 13 Embraer E190 airframes and 36 General Electric CF34-10E6 engines.
Deliveries started in July and will continue through the second quarter of 2026, the company said.
The E190s will join Azorra’s operational fleet, while the surplus CF34s will help expand the firm’s engine leasing capabilities.
“We’re excited to once again partner with JetBlue on this transaction, which reinforces our commitment to the Embraer E-Jet family and GE’s CF34-10 engines,” said Azorra CEO John Evans. “It underscores our confidence in the performance, reliability, long-term value, and continued demand for these assets, while advancing our mission to deliver innovative, value-driven powerplant solutions to customers worldwide.”
JetBlue officials said the transaction advances the carrier’s fleet modernization efforts and helps “efficiently monetize a portion of our E190 assets.” The airline is set to retire the E190 this fall.
Azorra, which has its headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, owns and manages 143 assets, including aircraft and engines. Its current fleet includes Embraer E-Jets, ATR turboprop regional airliners, Airbus A220s and A330s, and the Boeing 777-300ER.
