China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited (CALC) orders 30 additional Airbus A320neo Family aircraft

The agreement is the fifth order with Airbus, bringing the total number of Airbus aircraft ordered by CALC to 282, of which 203 are A320neo Family aircraft.  

China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited (CALC) has signed a firm order with Airbus for 30 A320neo Family aircraft to satisfy strong demand for the aircraft from its customer base. 

“Our enduring partnership with Airbus has been central to CALC’s growth,” said Mike Poon, Executive Director and CEO of CALC. “This latest order reflects our shared vision for innovation and sustainable aviation. We are proud to grow alongside Airbus and to continue providing our airline customers worldwide with high-value, modern aircraft solutions.” 

“CALC has been a long time valued partner of Airbus with its first order placed in 2012, and it's a privilege to see another repeat order,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business. “CALC’s deep understanding of the market and what its customers demand is a solid endorsement of the A320neo Family. This commitment reinforces their strength as a lessor with the most efficient, versatile, and in-demand single-aisle aircraft for their customers." 

As with all Airbus aircraft, the A320 Family can operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Airbus is targeting to have its aircraft up to 100% SAF capable by 2030.
