China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited has signed a firm order with Airbus (EADSY) for 30 A320neo Family aircraft to “satisfy strong demand for the aircraft from its customer base,” Airbus announced. The agreement is the fifth order with Airbus, bringing the total number of Airbus aircraft ordered by CALC to 282, of which 203 are A320neo Family aircraft. “CALC has been a long time valued partner of Airbus with its first order placed in 2012, and it’s a privilege to see another repeat order. CALC’s deep understanding of the market and what its customers demand is a solid endorsement of the A320neo Family. This commitment reinforces their strength as a lessor with the most efficient, versatile, and in-demand single-aisle aircraft for their customers,” said Benoit de Saint-Exupery, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business.
