CDB Aviation, a prominent Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing, has recently concluded a significant lease agreement for two Airbus A330-300 widebody aircraft with Thai Airways, Thailand’s national airline. The agreement, which comes amid a surge in demand for aircraft, particularly in response to heightened travel requirements, highlights the pivotal role that leasing companies like CDB Aviation play in supporting airlines’ fleet needs.
Scheduled for delivery in September and October 2024, these Airbus A330-300s are poised to augment Thai Airways’ capabilities, particularly in key intra-Asian markets. As global travel demand experiences a notable uptick, airlines are seeking flexible and efficient solutions to meet these requirements, and leasing agreements offer a strategic avenue for such expansion.
