During the Dubai Airshow 2025, CDB Aviation announced, the signing of lease agreements for four Airbus A320neo aircraft with a new airline customer in the EMEA region: Estonian leisure carrier Marabu Airlines (Marabu).
Headquartered in Tallinn, Marabu is an emerging force in the German leisure market, operating from key bases in Hamburg, Leipzig and Nuremberg. The airline offers travellers an extensive selection of flights to popular seasonal and holiday destinations across Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean, positioning itself as a competitive choice for sun-seeking passengers.
Founded in 2022, Marabu has quickly established itself as a young, energetic airline with a strong digital culture and a focus on operational agility. Since launching services in April 2023, it has carried more than two million passengers from Germany to leading Mediterranean destinations. The carrier currently operates a modern fleet of eight Airbus A320neo aircraft, each fitted with the latest technology and configured with 180 seats across two classes—Economy and Business.
The addition of four leased A320neos from CDB Aviation will further strengthen Marabu’s fleet as it continues to scale its network and meet growing demand for affordable, customer-focused leisure travel. The A320neo’s efficiency, reliability and lower environmental impact make it a natural fit for Marabu’s strategy as the airline expands its footprint across the region
