CDB Aviation, an Irish subsidiary of CDB Leasing, recently announced lease agreements for two Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft with Romanian flag carrier TAROM. These aircraft, leased from CDB Aviation’s direct orderbook with Boeing, will aid TAROM’s fleet modernization. This process aims to standardize the fleet and achieve significant cost reductions. Moreover, the delivery schedule for aircraft with 189 seats is set to be delivered between December 2025 and January 2026.
Jie Chen, Chief Executive Officer of CDB Aviation, said, “We look forward to forging a strong relationship with our newest European customer and one of the region’s oldest airlines, TAROM. Since its inception seven decades ago, TAROM is currently the longest operating airline of Romania, having played a central role in advancing the country’s aviation industry and its regional connectivity. With these MAX aircraft, TAROM will be able to continue to enhance its market position, while building one of the youngest fleets in the region,”
