Hong Kong-based China Aircraft Leasing Group this week signed a firm order with Airbus for 30 more A320neo-family aircraft.
The leasing company said the additional airplanes will help it meet strong demand from customers for the more fuel-efficient jets.
“Our enduring partnership with Airbus has been central to CALC’s growth,” CALC Executive Director and President Mike Poon said in a statement. “This latest order reflects our shared vision for innovation and sustainable aviation. We are proud to grow alongside Airbus and to continue providing our airline customers worldwide with high-value, modern aircraft solutions.”
Since 2012, the company has ordered a total of 282 Airbus aircraft, 203 of them from the A320neo family.
CALC is the largest independent aircraft lessor in China. Its customers include Air China, Cebu Pacific, China Eastern, China Southern, South African Airways, and Royal Jordanian, among others.
