Azorra has announced the acquisition of an Airbus A220-300 order portfolio from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE).
The deal includes eight A220-300 aircraft, two of which are currently leased to TAAG Angola Airlines, representing Azorra’s first leasing relationship with the carrier. The remaining six aircraft are due for delivery in 2027 and 2028, increasing Azorra’s total A220-300 commitments to 15 aircraft.
All aircraft will be equipped with Pratt & Whitney PW1500G engines and are intended for placement with airline customers around the world.
Andrew Zavatsky, VP Commercial at Azorra, commented on the portfolio take over: “Acquiring DAE’s A220 orderbook strengthens our position in the small narrowbody segment and reflects growing demand for new generation, fuel efficient aircraft. The assignment of these aircraft underscores our long-standing partnership with Airbus and DAE, as well as our capacity to deploy capital at scale. He continued: “The A220 has already proven to be a highly efficient and desirable aircraft for airlines globally, and we are strong believers in the program and its compelling economics. Our expanding small narrowbody portfolio firmly establishes Azorra as a leading lessor in the A220 segment.”
In April 2026, Azorra had also acquired nine General Electric CF34-10E engines from DAE to further expand its engine leasing portfolio. The CF34-10E powers Embraer E190 and E195 aircraft and remains widely used by regional carriers globally. Azorra said the engines would support growing demand from airline customers seeking reliable and efficient fleet solutions.
Azorra currently owns and manages a portfolio of 309 aircraft and engines, with additional commitments for Airbus A220-300 and Embraer E190/E195-E2 aircraft supporting further growth. The company added that its expanding orderbook and global customer base continue to reinforce its position as a leading aircraft lessor focused on new technology regional and crossover aircraft.
