CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing, has delivered the first of six Airbus A330-900neo aircraft as part of a sale-and-leaseback transaction and on long-term lease to a new customer in Asia Pacific, the flag carrier of Indonesia, Garuda Indonesia.
The fleet of six A330neo wide-body airliners, equipped with latest-generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines and configured in a two-class cabin layout with 24 seats in business and 277 seats in economy, will support the company’s growth and business expansion in the future. Â
This first aircraft is expected to be joined in the carrier’s fleet by two further units by the end of 2019, with the remaining three aircraft slated for delivery in 2020.
