CDB Aviation, the wholly-owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing, has announced the delivery two Boeing 737-800s to Milan-based carrier Neos.
“We look forward to building a strong working partnership with our newest European customer in Italy, Neos,” said Paul Boyle, CDB Aviation’s head of commercial, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Colleague Peter Goodman, the lessor's chief commercial officer, said the "accelerating pace of air passenger traffic’s recovery, means the airline "has the potential to seize on the nascent rebound in air travel and regional tourism".
"These two aircraft are a perfect fit to support our strategic short-haul fleet renewal plan and commercial operations planned for 2023. We thank the CDB Aviation team who has shown a high level of commitment since the negotiation phase, and we hope that this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration,” said Marco Brusa, the airline's fleet planning manager.
