CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“CDB Leasing”), announced today the completion of
a delivery mandate for two brand-new Airbus A320neo aircraft to Azerbaijan’s national air carrier, Azerbaijan Airlines (“AZAL”).
The announcement of the lease agreements in June 2024 marked CDB Aviation’s first transaction in Azerbaijan, which became the lessor’s newest customer within the region. The A320neos, powered by the CFM LEAP-1A26 engines, were introduced to AZAL’s fleet as part of the airline’s fleet modernization initiative, which will replace its older A320 and A319s with the new-generation versions.
