CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing, (CDB Leasing), has delivered the first of four Airbus A320neo-family aircraft on long-term lease to Russia’s flagship airline, Aeroflot.
Aeroflot took delivery of the first aircraft, a new A320neo, on May 14 at Airbus’ delivery center in Toulouse, France. The remaining three deliveries include two additional A320neos and one A321neo, which will be received by the carrier later in May.
The neos will support Aeroflot’s strategic efforts to retrench its leading position in key markets on the domestic network, while enhancing its fleet with the latest-technology narrow-body aircraft offering higher capacity and improved fuel-efficiency.
