CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co., has delivered the first of two Airbus A321neo aircraft to Brazilian airline Azul S.A. The aircraft is the first A321NX version of the Neo-family, fitted with Airbus’ Cabin Flex option, to be operated by a Brazilian airline.
The A321neo, configured in a 214 single-class seat layout and powered by CFM International’s Leap-1A engines, will provide passengers with enhanced features.
The versatility of the A321neoNX will provide the right capacity for Azul’s expanding fleet and will avail the carrier of the new technology’s benefits, such as reduced fuel consumption and lowered unit costs, enabling more efficient operations in the future.
