FTAI Aviation has completed the acquisition of seven off-lease Airbus aircraft from Air France, supporting the carrier’s continued narrow-body fleet modernisation programme. The transaction comprises one A318-100, four A319-100s and two A321-200 aircraft.
Stacy Kuperus, Chief Operating Officer at FTAI Aviation, said: “We are pleased to partner with Air France and secure additional engine and module feedstock for our Aerospace Products and Power platforms. As demand for our maintenance, repair and exchange solutions continues to grow, expanding access to CFM56 engines is critical. We value our long-standing partnership and look forward to supporting Air France’s evolving fleet strategy in the future.”
FTAI said the transaction underlines its ability to unlock asset value through proprietary engine repair and optimisation capabilities. It also reinforces the company’s focus on delivering flexible, end-to-end fleet management solutions tailored to the needs of airline partners worldwide.
