CALC Orders 65 Airbus A320neo Family Aircraft

China Aircraft Leasing Group (CALC) signed a firm order for 50 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft at the end of December and last week ordered an additional 15 Airbus A320neo aircraft.

The Airbus A320neo aircraft will be delivered to CALC in stages between 2022 and 2023.

 Following this incremental order, CALC’s total order book with Airbus will increase to 217 aircraft.

Mr. Mike Poon, Chief Executive Officer of CALC, said, “Since CALC’s inception, we have maintained a close and dynamic relationship with Airbus, and the commitment marks yet another endorsement of our mutual trust. This bulk purchase will significantly expand CALC’s fleet portfolio and further solidify our position as a full value-chain aircraft solutions provider. Currently, the majority of our fleet comes from direct purchase from manufacturers and that will remain the major source of our new aircraft.”

CALC currently owns a fleet of 107 aircraft, and its backlog after the new order stands at 193 aircraft (143 Airbus and 50 Boeing).
