Singapore-based aircraft leasing giant BOC Aviation has announced two major deals with Boeing and Airbus to expand its fleet. The company has signed an agreement with Boeing (NYSE: BA) to purchase 50 Boeing 737-8 aircraft. It has also reached a separate deal with Airbus to acquire 70 aircraft from the A320NEO family. Both transactions were finalized for undisclosed amounts.
The strategic move underscores BOC Aviation’s confidence in the long-term growth of global air travel and increasing demand for fuel-efficient, next-generation narrow-body jets. The Boeing 737-8, part of the 737 MAX family, and the Airbus A320NEO series are known for enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced carbon emissions, making them attractive choices for airlines aiming to modernize their fleets.
BOC Aviation, which provides aircraft leasing services to airlines worldwide, is positioning itself to meet growing demand as travel rebounds across key markets. The company's fleet expansion reflects a strong recovery in aviation and its continued commitment to supporting airline partners with state-of-the-art, environmentally efficient aircraft.
This dual order is expected to strengthen BOC Aviation’s portfolio, offering more flexibility and competitiveness in the global leasing market. With air traffic steadily recovering post-pandemic and carriers seeking cost-effective aircraft solutions, the demand for modern narrow-body jets is expected to remain robust.
The agreements with Boeing and Airbus align with BOC Aviation’s long-term strategy to invest in aircraft that meet both operational efficiency and environmental standards. As one of Asia’s leading aircraft lessors, the company continues to play a key role in the aviation industry's transition toward more sustainable air travel.
