 Paris, France (AFP) Dec 30, 2025

China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings (CALC) and Airbus said Tuesday that the Hong Kong-listed firm had placed an order for 30 A320neo family aircraft.

The firm order, the fifth that CALC has placed with Airbus, brings the total number of aircraft it has ordered from the European aircraft manufacturer to 282, including 203 A320neo family aircraft.

CALC chief executive Mike Poon said in the statement that the order will allow it to "continue providing our airline customers worldwide with high-value, modern aircraft solutions".

The value of the contract was not disclosed. Airbus has not published list prices for aircraft since 2018. CALC said the aircraft would be delivered through 2033.

As of June the company owned and managed 181 aircraft and counted 41 airlines in 22 countries as clients.

The A320neo family is the latest generation of the single-aisle, medium-haul aircraft, offering greater fuel economy and the ability to burn up to 50 percent sustainable aviation fuel.

Together with Boeing's 737 family of aircraft, the A320s are the workhorses of the commercial airline industry.

NASA and Boeing advance control strategies for flexible long span airliner wings
 Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 01, 2026
 The airliners of coming decades may feature long, slender wings that change the look of commercial aircraft while improving ride quality and cutting fuel use. Those high aspect ratio wings promise lower drag and better efficiency, but their increased flexibility introduces structural and control challenges that engineers must address before airlines can adopt them. As part of the Integrated Adaptive Wing Technology Maturation collaboration, NASA and Boeing have carried out wind tunnel experi ... read more
