ABL Aviation, the global independent aircraft investment management firm, has successfully completed another e-delivery of a new Airbus A320neo aircraft for Pegasus Airlines, on behalf of ABL Aviation’s Japanese partner.
The transaction follows the industry’s first ever 100% remote delivery of an aircraft, also arranged by ABL Aviation for Pegasus Airlines last April in the immediate wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both arrangements reflect ABL Aviation’s focus on technology-led solutions to ensure the aviation industry continues to innovate and drive efficiency. During the pandemic, the e-delivery also secures a safe working environment on behalf of investors, clients, and employees. This deal was completed against the backdrop of growing airline demand for newer, more fuel-efficient narrow-body aircraft, driven by the anticipation of a quicker recovery of short-haul and domestic travel.
E-deliveries comprise three phases: technical acceptance completion, electronic transfer-of-title; and ferry-flight and subsequent reception of the aircraft at the customer’s base. E-deliveries mean that none of the customer’s own staff need to be physically present at the Airbus delivery center, making it more environmentally friendly too.
