AerCap Delivers First of Three New Airbus A350 XWBs to Air Caraïbes



AerCap delivered a new Airbus A350-900 to Air Caraïbes, the first of three new A350 aircraft deliveries on long-term lease from AerCap’s order book with Airbus.

The aircraft was transferred to the French carrier at a ceremony in the Airbus Delivery Centre in Toulouse, which was attended by Philip Scruggs, president and chief commercial officer of AerCap; Jean-Paul Dubreuil, chairman of the supervisory board of Air Caraïbes and Marc Rochet, chairman of the managing board of Air Caraïbes. A second A350-900 aircraft is scheduled for delivery to Air Caraïbes in March 2017.

AerCap has one of the largest Airbus A350 XWB portfolios with a total of 29 owned and on order, delivering through 2019.

“AerCap is proud to deliver the first A350 aircraft to Air Caraïbes. Air Caraïbes will be the first French airline to operate the A350,” Scruggs said. “The aircraft will offer Air Caraïbes greater capacity, increased range and superior operational efficiency. We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with Air Caraïbes.”
