Macquarie AirFinance has signed a $300 million sale and leaseback agreement with EGYPTAIR for two Airbus A350-900 aircraft, scheduled for delivery in 2026.
The agreement was signed at the Dubai Airshow 2025.
Macquarie said the agreement expands its widebody portfolio with “efficient new-technology aircraft” and also provides the airline with “flexible, capital-efficient financing” to support its fleet modernisation and long-haul network growth.
"This agreement strengthens our strategic presence in the EMEA region and builds on our successful relationship with the EGYPTAIR Group," said Eamonn Bane, CEO of Macquarie AirFinance. "The A350's exceptional performance and market liquidity make these assets an excellent addition to our portfolio."
“Partnering with Macquarie AirFinance through this sale and leaseback structure is vital for maintaining the momentum of our accelerated fleet renewal program," said Ahmed Adel, chairman and CEO of EGYPTAIR.
