On 2 October 2024, AerCap announced it has reached an agreement with Azerbaijan Airlines for the lease of Airbus A320/A321neos. In total, the airline will be leasing six additional aircraft, three A320neos and three A321neos. All aircraft are scheduled to be delivered in 2026.

World Atlantic Airways plans Airbus A320-fleet

Aviation news site CH-Aviation has conducted an interview with the COO of World Atlantic Airways. In it, the airline has said it plans to transition to a fleet of Airbus A320s.

Over the last years, World Atlantic has already built experience with A320-operations by wet-leasing one from Fly2Sky. The airline hopes to welcome its first own two Airbuses before the end of the year.

World Atlantic Airways was originally launched as Caribbean Sun Airlines at Fort Lauderdale (FL) in 2002. It launched operations with a single DHC-8-100 in January 2003. In January 2007, it ceased operations. After a failed restart attempt, the company was acquired in 2010 and relaunched and rebranded as World Atlantic Airways.

Today, the airline operates charter and ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance) flights with a fleet of five McDonnell-Douglas MD-83s. As the fleet is an average of 33 years old, and becoming more difficult to maintain, it's time to replace them.

United Airlines to dry-lease twenty Airbus A321neo

United Airlines (UA, Chicago O'Hare) has signed a dry-lease contract with SMBC Aviation Capital for twenty A321-200NX.

The agreement was inked in April 2024 but the identity of the lessor was not disclosed at that time. SMBC said the aircraft would be drawn from its Airbus order book and deliver in 2026-2027.

SMBC has a portfolio of six owned A321-200Ns (and a further two managed), forty-one A321-200NX (and 35 managed), and two owned and managed A321-200NX(LR)s in terms of its A321neo fleet. Its existing order book with the manufacturer comprises a further 52 of the type, of which five are listed as A321-200NX(LR)s, according to the ch-aviation fleets module.

United Airlines currently leases twenty B737-8s from SMBC.

The US carrier operates fifteen A321-200NX and has a further 115 on a direct order from Airbus. In April, it said it would add a further thirty-five A321-200NX on leases, including the now-unveiled deal with SMBC. The carrier also has fifty A321-200NY(XLR)s on order.

 NBA to lease Airbus A321neos

According to Corporate Jet Investor, the US National Basketball Association is planning to lease its own fleet of Airbus A321neos that it will use to facilitate the transportation of NBA-teams.

The article posted by CJI states that the NBA is in talks with lessor SMBC for the lease of thirteen A321neos and that they will be reconfigured into a VIP lay-out by Comlux in Indianapolis (IN). It also states that the aircraft are, most likely, to be operated by Delta Air Lines.

Delta is already covering the majority of current NBA-flights and has a fleet of eleven Boeing B757-200s that are configured in a VIP-configuration seating up to 72 passengers. As the average age of these eleven Boeings is more than 34 years, replacement by newer generation aircraft makes sense.
