ABL Aviation has delivered an Airbus A220-300 to Air France on a long-term lease. This transaction was executed through a Japanese operating lease (JOL) on behalf of its Japanese partner. This recent delivery marks Air France's 30th A220, hitting the midpoint of the airline's goal to add 60 Airbus A220s to its fleet.
Almost two years ago, the airline received its first A220. Since then, ABL Aviation has supported five of these deliveries, with an additional six planned in the future.
Ali Ben Lmadani, CEO of ABL Aviation, commented on the recent delivery: "The fifth A220's delivery to Air France signifies the completion of the first half of the mandate. I am optimistic that our partnership with Air France KLM Group will continue strengthening, particularly with six more aircraft deliveries underway." In addition, he stated, "This transaction demonstrates our commitment to Air France and all our airline partners. We offer tailored solutions, and financing sustainable next-generation aircraft that align with their growth goal and contribute to the environment positively."
