AviaAM Financial Leasing China, Zhengzhou-based aircraft leasing, trading, management and consulting company, is delighted to announce having delivered two more aircraft – Airbus A320 and Airbus A321 to the flag carrier of Russia – Aeroflot. The transition has been performed with the support of AviaAM Leasing and Henan Civil Aviation Development and Investment Company (HNCA). 

The aircraft delivery comes as a part of sale and lease back agreement between Aeroflot and AviaAM Financial Leasing China covering 8 aircraft in total to be delivered over the year 2017. 4 Airbus A320s have already been delivered in the first half of 2017, while 1 Airbus A321 has been delivered on July 7th, 2017.
The newly-built Airbus A320 with a seat configuration of 20 business and 120 economy seats has been delivered to the carrier at Airbus facilities in Toulouse, France, while the Airbus A321 with a seat configuration of 16 business and 167 economic seats has been delivered at Airbus facilities in Hamburg, Germany. Both aircraft will start conducting scheduled flights on Aeroflot routes immediately. The Russian flag carrier will operate the aircraft for the next 12 years.

“China‘s One Belt One Road policy has encouraged a number of business transactions between China and Eurasian nations. Our Joint venture with Chinese state owned investment group HNCA is also a successful example of this trend. Sino-European Joint venture finance companies are now emerging as a new way to finance aircraft acquisitions due to favourable access to funding in China,” comments Domas Girtavicius, CEO of AviaAM Financial Leasing China. 

“Volumes of air transportation between the CIS and China continue to grow as countries engage in new partnerships in the fields of trade and tourism. We are happy to support the expansion of the leading carrier’s operations with ex-factory aircraft,” comments Tadas Goberis, Chairman of the Board and CEO of AviaAM Leasing.
