ABL AVIATION COMPLETES 18TH AIRCRAFT DELIVERY TO AIR FRANCE, MARKING THE AIRLINE’S 60TH AIRBUS A220

Latest delivery marks significant milestone for both organisations. 

ABL Aviation, a global independent aircraft investment management firm, has successfully delivered its 18th aircraft to Air France, marking another significant milestone in the longstanding partnership between the two companies. The delivery holds special significance for Air France, representing the airline’s 60th Airbus A220 aircraft. 

The latest aircraft, an Airbus A220-300 powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1521G-3 engines, is the third and final aircraft delivered by ABL Aviation to Air France in 2026, completing the scheduled deliveries for the year. The addition further supports Air France’s ongoing fleet modernisation programme and its focus on operating a younger, more fuel-efficient fleet. 

The Airbus A220-300 plays an important role in Air France’s fleet renewal strategy, offering enhanced fuel efficiency, lower emissions and improved operating economics compared with previous-generation aircraft. This latest delivery, marking Air France’s 60th A220, reflects the continued progress of its fleet transformation and investment in next-generation narrowbody aircraft. ABL Aviation is proud to have played a part in this important milestone in Air France’s fleet renewal journey. 

With eighteen aircraft now delivered through their collaboration, ABL Aviation and Air France continue to build on an established relationship founded on long-term partnership and tailored aircraft financing solutions. Through its expertise in structured aircraft leasing and asset management, ABL Aviation remains focused on supporting airline operators in meeting their fleet requirements, optimising capital deployment and achieving their long-term strategic objectives.
