DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- In its second blockbuster deal announcement in as many days at the biennial Dubai Air Show, Airbus announced on Monday that it has received an order from the Air Lease Corporation for 111 new aircraft.
The deal, likely valued into the tens of billions of dollars, includes 25 A220-330s, 55 A321neos, 20 A321 XLRs, four A330neos and seven A350Fs. High-level executives of Airbus and Air Lease Corporation announced the sale at a press conference in Dubai.
“It’s a sign that things start to look more positive and to look beyond the COVID-19 horizon,” Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus, told reporters.
On the first day of the aviation expo, the European plane maker gave another lift to the order book with the sale of 255 new aircraft to Indigo Partners’ various low cost carriers — a deal valued at some $30 billion, based on the pre-pandemic price list.
