CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co., announced the signing of a sale-and-leaseback agreement for a fleet of four new Airbus A321neo aircraft with the company’s current customer, Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air.
Wizz Air, the largest Airbus customer of the A321neo variant, is expected to take deliveries of the four aircraft between the first and third quarters of 2021. Powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines and featuring the widest single-aisle cabin with 239 seats in a single-class configuration, the aircraft will bolster the airline’s all-Airbus fleet serving short-haul operations.
