CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing (CDB Leasing), completed a sale transaction for two Airbus A330-200 aircraft with National Airlines.
The Florida-based cargo and passenger charter services operator took delivery of the Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engine-powered versions of the aircraft in July and November 2024 and plans to deploy the two widebodies to provide charter transportation services.
“We are delighted to have collaborated on executing this sale transaction for two of our A330-200 passenger aircraft and look forward to expanding our partnership with the National team,” Jie Chen, CEO of CDB Aviation, said. “These A330 aircraft will support the carrier’s fleet growth strategy, offering efficient, resourceful and modern air passenger services for their customers’ increasing transportation demands.”
“We are extremely grateful to CDB Aviation for partnering with us on this aircraft purchase. The addition of these two A330-200 aircraft to National’s fleet emphasizes our commitment to providing world-class service to our customers, as we enhance our passenger experience,” Christopher Alf, chairman of National Airlines, said. “These new aircraft will not only lead to a more efficient and wider operational range, but also equip us better to meet the growing demand for exclusive, highly customized and personalized charter travel requests from customers across the globe.”
