CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing, delivered one Boeing 737-8 aircraft to its current customer, China Southern Airlines.
The MAX aircraft’s arrival follows the receipt of a pair of Airbus A321-251NXs from the lessor’s orderbook in August 2025, increasing the number of aircraft on long-term lease to the carrier to three.
“We’re thrilled to be deepening our collaboration with China Southern and appreciate the strong partnership with their team, as we continue to provide financing solutions to our partner airlines in the Greater China region,” Michelle Wu, head of commercial, greater China at CDB Aviation, said. “The delivery of this latest generation aircraft will help reinforce the carrier’s growth strategy across key markets.”
