CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing (CDB Leasing), has announced an extension of the company’s relationship with Wizz Air, with an additional sale and leaseback transaction for a batch of six Airbus A321neo aircraft.
Wizz Air is expected to receive four A321neos in the fourth quarter of 2021, with the remaining two slated for the second quarter of 2022. The aircraft are powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines and similarly configured with the widest single-aisle cabin with 239 seats in a single-class layout.
The announcement comes on the heels of a recently executed agreement for four A321neos between the lessor and the carrier, bringing the total of the type under lease agreements to ten.
