DALLAS — Aircraft lessor BOC Aviation has placed a firm order with Airbus for an additional 70 A320neo Family aircraft, bringing the lessor’s orderbook to 200 jets and deliveries to 700 since its first Airbus order in 1996.
The A320 Family is the world’s most popular single-aisle aircraft, having won more than 19,000 orders globally. The Family includes the largest member, the A321neo, which offers unparalleled range and performance.
The Family offers at least 20% fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft, while maximising passenger comfort with one of the widest single-aisle cabins in the sky.
In December 2006, Bank of China acquired the former leasing company for US$965 million, renaming it BOC Aviation on July 2, 2007. With this order, BOC Aviation’s backlog of aircraft to be delivered becomes the largest in its history with Airbus.
