Air Lease Corporation (ALC) has signed long-term lease placements for three new Airbus A350-900 wide-body aircraft with Air France. The aircraft are scheduled to deliver to Air France in the second quarter of 2024 from ALC’s order book with Airbus.
“This strategic lease placement of three new A350-900s is another important step in the long-haul fleet modernisation of Air France,” said Steven Udvar-Házy, Executive Chairman of Air Lease Corporation. “The Air France-KLM Group is our largest European airline leasing customer, encompassing not only Air France and KLM, but also includes Transavia Netherlands and Transavia France. ALC also has nine new Airbus A321neo aircraft delivering to the Group between late 2023 and 2026 and five Boeing 737s delivering to Transavia during the first half of this year, all on long-term leases.”
Since 1933, Air France has been promoting and highlighting France throughout the world. With an activity divided between passenger transport, cargo transport and aeronautical maintenance, Air France is a major air transport player with more than 42,000 staff making up its workforce.
