Azorra has purchased 12 Airbus A220-300s from EgyptAir, the flag carrier of Egypt. Azorra is acquiring the aircraft from EgyptAir “to support the airline’s ongoing fleet transformation”. John Evans, CEO and Founder of Azorra, says: “Our strong partnerships with Airbus and Pratt & Whitney have been key to facilitating this creative transaction. These young, well-maintained aircraft with freshly overhauled, updated engines from Pratt & Whitney have strong market demand and are very attractive to Azorra’s rapidly growing customer base. “We are so grateful for EGYPTAIR’s trust and confidence in Azorra to provide a fleet transition solution, while clearing the path for new Airbus widebody aircraft.” Eng. Yehia Zakria, CEO & Chairman of EgyptAir Holding, adds: “We highly value the creativeness shown by Azorra. We are thankful to the team for their commitment which led to such a successful transaction.” Azorra says that the addition of the 12 aircraft from EgyptAir complements its current A220 orderbook.
