ABL AVIATION DELIVERS 16TH AIRCRAFT TO AIR FRANCE UNDER ONGOING PARTNERSHIP

Paris, France – June 12, 2026

ABL Aviation, a global independent aircraft investment management firm, announced the successful delivery of its 16th aircraft to Air France, further expanding the longstanding relationship between the two companies.

The latest delivery, an Airbus A220-300 powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1521G-3 engines, is the first aircraft delivered under a new three-aircraft mandate with Air France. The aircraft supports the airline’s ongoing fleet renewal strategy and commitment to operating a modern and efficient narrowbody fleet. Two additional Airbus A220-300 aircraft are scheduled for delivery later this year, bringing ABL Aviation’s total deliveries to Air France to 18 aircraft.

The Airbus A220-300 continues to play an important role in Air France’s fleet modernisation programme, offering improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced operating economics. The transaction further demonstrates ABL Aviation’s ability to structure and execute phased multi-aircraft leasing programmes tailored to the requirements of leading global carriers.

This latest agreement builds on the longstanding relationship between ABL Aviation and Air France and reflects the continued collaboration between the two organisations. Through structured aircraft leasing and asset management solutions, ABL Aviation remains committed to supporting airline partners in achieving their fleet and financing objectives.
