BOC Aviation has reaffirmed its position as one of the world’s leading aircraft lessors by placing a substantial new order with both Boeing and Airbus. The Singapore-based company has announced a firm purchase agreement for 50 Boeing 737-8 jets and 70 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft, further strengthening its already extensive fleet.
This latest order underscores BOC Aviation’s confidence in the future demand for fuel-efficient, next-generation aircraft. The Boeing 737-8, part of the 737 MAX family, is known for its improved fuel efficiency and lower operating costs, making it a popular choice among airlines looking to optimize their narrowbody fleets. Similarly, the Airbus A320neo Family offers enhanced performance with reduced carbon emissions, aligning with the aviation industry’s push for greater sustainability.
With a portfolio that exceeds 800 aircraft and engines—either owned, managed, or on order—BOC Aviation continues to be a key player in the aircraft leasing market. As of December 31, 2024, the company had its owned and managed aircraft leased to 92 airlines across 48 countries and regions. This widespread global presence ensures its customers benefit from flexible fleet solutions tailored to market demands.
The dual order from both Boeing and Airbus highlights BOC Aviation’s commitment to maintaining a balanced and diversified fleet, catering to the varying preferences of airlines worldwide. With the aviation sector witnessing a strong rebound and growing travel demand, the addition of these new-generation aircraft will allow BOC Aviation to support its airline partners with more fuel-efficient and cost-effective leasing options.
As airlines continue to modernize their fleets and expand their networks, aircraft leasing companies like BOC Aviation play a crucial role in facilitating access to the latest aviation technology. The order also signals continued confidence in the resilience of the global aviation market, which is steadily recovering from pandemic-related disruptions.
