Lion Group celebrates first deliveries of Airbus aircraft

Best-selling A320 joins the fleet of Batik Air

12 NOVEMBER 2014 PRESS RELEASE

Indonesia’s Lion Group has celebrated the delivery of its first three Airbus aircraft at a special ceremony in Toulouse today. The event was attended by Rusdi Kirana, Chairman and Co-Founder of Lion Group and Fabrice Brégier, Airbus President and CEO.

The aircraft are the first from an order placed by Lion Group in March 2013 for 234 A320 Family aircraft, comprising 109 A320neo, 65 A321neo and 60 A320ceo. The initial batch of A320s are set to join the fleet of the Group’s full service subsidiary Batik Air, flying on domestic and regional services. The Batik aircraft are powered by CFM56 engines and feature a premium two class layout seating a total of 156 passengers

“We are delighted to celebrate the delivery of our first Airbus aircraft. These A320s, and later the A320neo and larger A321neo, will allow us to continue our expansion with one of the most modern and advanced fleets in the world,” said Rusdi Kirana. “In service with Batik Air, the A320s will combine the highest levels of in-flight comfort for our premium services with the lowest operating costs the industry has to offer. We will be looking forward to take delivery of our Airbus aircraft in the months and years to come.”

"This ceremony marks a new exciting milestone in our relationship with Lion Group and with Indonesia, one of the most promising, fastest-growing markets in the world,” said Fabrice Brégier. “We are particularly proud to welcome Batik Air as our newest Airbus operator and we are sure that the incredible flexibility offered throughout the A320 Family will perfectly fit Lion Group’s ongoing expansion plans.”

Offering the lowest operating costs in its class, the A320 Family is the world's best-selling single-aisle product line. To date, nearly 11,000 aircraft have been ordered and more than 6,200 delivered to over 400 customers and operators worldwide. The A320ceo and A320neo share over 95 percent airframe commonality, enabling seamless operation of the various models in a single fleet. The A320neo (new engine option) incorporates cabin innovations, new generation engines and Sharklets (large wing tip devices) which together will deliver 20 percent in fuel savings per seat by 2020.

Since taking to the skies in 2000, Jakarta-based Lion Group has become one of Asia’s fastest-growing airlines. Today the Group operates an extensive network covering over 70 destinations in South East Asia. The Groups’ units comprise low cost Lion Air, full service Batik Air and domestic regional unit Wings Air. In addition, the Group owns 49 per cent of Malaysia-based Malindo Air, combining low cost and premium service options.

THE MONTH IN REVIEW: OCTOBER 2014

One of the two new business transactions logged in October moved an Airbus customer into the top 10 ranking by order volume, while the other sale expanded the Airbus corporate jet (ACJ) bookings. For the month’s 50 deliveries, the aircraft involved ranged from the A320 product line to the A380.

BOC Aviation’s acquisition of two A320ceo (current engine option) airliners during October positions it as Airbus’ 10th largest customer, with a total of 257 orders – composed of 251 A320 Family aircraft and six A330s.  Headquartered in Singapore, BOC Aviation is owned by Bank of China – offering a wide range of lease management and aircraft finance services both directly and through its parent company.

Also included in Airbus’ October order book was an ACJ319 for an unnamed private customer.  The ACJ319 is one of the most popular members of Airbus’ ACJ family, combining the widest and tallest cabins of any business jets with intercontinental range in this size category.

These new bookings brought net orders registered by Airbus during the first 10 months of 2014 to 794.

Deliveries during October were led by the A320 Family, with 42 aircraft from this best-selling product line provided to international customers.  The seven A330s delivered in the month included the first of six A330-300 versions on order by SriLankan Airlines, joining this all-Airbus operator’s current fleet of A320s, A321s, A330-200s and A340-300s.

Completing the October deliveries was Airbus’ handover of another A380 flagship jetliner.

With the month’s order and delivery activity, Airbus’ backlog as of October 31 stood at 5,860 aircraft.

China Aircraft Leasing Company signs MoU for 100 A320 Family aircraft

Top leasing companies in fastest growing markets continue to favour A320

6 NOVEMBER 2014 PRESS RELEASE

China Aircraft Leasing Company (CALC), the leading independent aircraft operating lessor in China, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for 100 A320 Family aircraft. The commitment comprises 74 A320neo, 16 A320ceo and 10 A321ceo. Including this new commitment, CALC’s total order tally with Airbus stands at 140 A320 Family aircraft.

“This new commitment to the A320 Family confirms the aircraft’s popularity and appeal, offering customers the best value for money, high reliability and best-in-class passenger comfort,” said Dr Mike Poon, CEO and Executive Director of CALC. “These key attributes make the A320 Family a perfect fit in CALC’s strategy to offer the most innovative and dynamic leasing solutions to aviation customers in China and around the globe.”

“When a leading leasing company, CALC, serving customers in the world’s fastest growing, dynamic aviation market, orders more of our popular A320 Family aircraft, we take that as a strong signal of the continuing long-term success of our best-selling product line,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. “The A320 Family is the ideal investment for lessors thanks to its wide operator base, excellent operating economics and strong residual values.” 

The A320neo “new engine option” incorporates many innovations, including latest generation engines and large Sharklet wing-tip devices, which together deliver 15 percent in fuel savings from day one and 20 per cent by 2020 which is equivalent to a reduction of 5,000 tonnes of CO2 per aircraft per year.

The A320 Family is the world’s best-selling single aisle product line with almost 11,000 orders to date and over 6,200 aircraft delivered to 400 customers and operators worldwide. Thanks to its widest cabin, all members of the A320 Family offer the industry’s best level of comfort in all classes and Airbus’ 18” wide seats in economy as standard.

SriLankan Airlines receives first of six new A330-300 on order

Airline continues to grow its all-Airbus fleet with its newest member

31 OCTOBER 2014 PRESS RELEASE

SriLankan Airlines, the national carrier of Sri Lanka, has taken delivery of its first A330-300 becoming a new operator for the type. The wide-body aircraft arrived at Colombo International Airport, having flown from Toulouse, France, and joins the airlines’ existing fleet of A320, A321, A330-200 and A340-300 aircraft. SriLankan will take delivery of a further five A330-300s.

“We have a reputation as a global leader in service, comfort, safety, reliability and punctuality; all of which are qualities reflected in selecting the A330,” said Kapila Chandrasena, CEO of SriLankan Airlines. “The addition of the A330-300 to our family will enable us to drive our offering to new heights.”

SriLankan Airlines and Airbus embarked upon a long-term, strategic partnership in 1993 when the airline began operating the A320 and A340. It has since grown to be an all Airbus operator, and is now an award winning carrier, expanding and diversifying its wide range of products and services to drive the country’s ongoing boom in tourism and economic development.

"Combining the highest levels of reliability, superior economics and great passenger appeal, the A330-300 will fit seamlessly into the SriLankan Airlines’ fleet,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers.  “We are very proud of our two decades of partnership with SriLankan Airlines and that they have built their success on our aircraft.”

About the A330

The A330 Family, which spans 200 to 440 seats, and includes Freighter, VIP, and Military Transport/Tanker variants, has now attracted more than 1,300 orders. Over 1,100 aircraft are flying with more than 100 operators worldwide. The A330 is one of the world’s most efficient aircraft with best in class operating economics. With numerous on-going product enhancements entering service in the coming years, such as the more capable 242 tonne take-off-weight variant (available for both the A330-200 and the A330-300), the A330 for regional and domestic routes and the A330neo, the A330 Family remains the most cost-efficient and capable widebody aircraft, averaging operational reliability above 99 percent. The A330 belongs to the successful Airbus Widebody aircraft Family, which comprises the A330, A350 XWB and A380, and uniquely spans the 250 to over 500 seats segment.
