ABL Aviation, a global independent aircraft investment management firm, has successfully delivered a CFM LEAP-1A32-powered Airbus A321-251NX to Pegasus Airlines, reinforcing its dedication to supplying next-generation, environmentally conscious aircraft to leading carriers.
The aircraft, bearing manufacturer serial number (MSN) 12468, is powered by advanced CFM International engines (RCL59D136 and 1RCL59D139), which are designed to improve operational efficiency, lower fuel consumption, and reduce emissions. This delivery forms part of Pegasus Airlines’ ongoing fleet modernisation strategy, aimed at enhancing sustainability and operational performance across its expanding network in Turkey, Europe and beyond.
“We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Pegasus Airlines through this delivery,” said Ali Ben Lmadani, founder and CEO of ABL Aviation. “As demand for efficient, environmentally conscious air travel continues to grow, ABL Aviation remains focused on delivering the latest-generation of aircraft that support our partners’ operational and sustainability objectives.”
The Airbus A321-251NX—part of Airbus’ new engine option (neo) family—delivers between 15% and 20% lower fuel burn compared to earlier-generation aircraft, alongside significantly reduced CO₂ emissions and noise. These features make it particularly well suited for short- and medium-haul operations while aligning with broader environmental goals.
This latest addition to the Pegasus fleet underscores both airlines’ and lessors’ increasing focus on sustainable growth and reflects ABL Aviation’s continued role as a trusted partner to carriers pursuing fuel-efficient, high-performance aircraft solutions.
