Aviation Capital Group orders 75 Airbus A320neo-family jets
US lessor Aviation Capital Group has placed an order for 75 Airbus A320neo-family aircraft, the largest in its history, with deliveries scheduled between 2032 and 2035.
Aviation Capital Group has placed its largest order ever: 75 Airbus A320neo-family jets. The US lessor says deliveries will run from 2032 through 2035.
The deal carries conversion rights, so ACG can switch to other variants in the single-aisle family. No engine choice has been disclosed.
As of the end of June, the lessor's fleet held 118 A320neo-family aircraft. Its outstanding orders for the models now stand at 115.
Chief executive Thomas Baker said the company's portfolio strategy centres on new-technology narrowbody aircraft, which he called the most in demand among airlines worldwide. The order, he said, is a statement of confidence in the long-term future of air travel.
Airbus said the agreement reinforces a partnership dating back almost 20 years, to 2007, when the lessor first placed aircraft orders directly with the manufacturer.
