AviLease, an aircraft lessor based in Saudi Arabia, has placed an order for 30 A320neo family aircraft, along with 10 A350F freighters, with the agreement signed at the Paris Air Show 2025.
The order also includes a future increase to 55 A320neo aircraft and 22 A350Fs. Currently, there are no XLR models confirmed within the order.
“We are proud to establish an Airbus order book, strengthening our position as a full-service, investment-grade global lessor,” said Edward O’Byrne, CEO of AviLease. “The addition of these latest-generation aircraft enhances our ability to offer modern, fuel-efficient fleet solutions to our airline partners in Saudi Arabia and around the world. We thank our local partners and Airbus for the strong, long-term partnership we have established and look forward to placing these aircraft across our valued customer base.”
“We are delighted to welcome AviLease as Airbus’s latest customer with this significant order for the all-new A350F and leading A320neo Family,” commented Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business. “The A350F will set the benchmark in air cargo, offering at least 20% reduced fuel burn, better loading capacity and increased range, while the A320neo Family continues to be the world’s most popular single-aisle aircraft. This dual order reinforces AviLease’s credentials as a leading lessor, and it demonstrates the broad appeal of our products among lessors and their airline customers.”
