Paris, France, 16 June 2025 – AviLease, the global aircraft leasing company based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has placed an initial order with Airbus for 10 A350F freighters and 30 A320neo Family aircraft. The agreement, signed at the 2025 Paris Airshow, includes provisions to expand the order to 22 A350F freighters and 55 A320neo Family aircraft in the future.
“Establishing an Airbus order book marks a key milestone in our growth as a global, investment-grade lessor,” said Edward O’Byrne, CEO of AviLease. “These state-of-the-art, fuel-efficient aircraft will strengthen our fleet offering to airline partners in Saudi Arabia and worldwide. We appreciate the trust and collaboration with Airbus and our local partners, and look forward to deploying these aircraft across our expanding customer base.”
Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, EVP Sales at Airbus Commercial Aircraft, commented: “We’re pleased to welcome AviLease with this major order for the A350F and A320neo Family. The A350F will set a new standard in air cargo efficiency and performance, while the A320neo Family remains the benchmark for single-aisle aircraft. This order highlights AviLease’s strong market position and the continued demand for our latest-generation aircraft among lessors and airlines alike.”
