BOC Aviation Signs Firm Order for Five A330-200F Aircraft
(February 22, 2008) -- BOC Aviation, the leading Asia-based aircraft leasing company, has signed a firm contract for five A330-200F all-cargo aircraft. The agreement was signed during the 2008 Singapore Airshow.
Previously known as Singapore Aircraft Leasing Enterprise, BOC Aviation is headquartered in Singapore, with representatives based in Europe and the US. The company is wholly owned by the Bank of China.
Robert Martin, BOC Aviation Chief Executive Officer, said the contract marked the first time that BOC Aviation has ordered cargo aircraft directly from a manufacturer. "This order reflects our confidence in strong future demand for widebody production freighter aircraft," he said. "The payload capability and range of the A330-200F make it an appealing choice in the mid-size category and we feel sure that the aircraft will provide us with a strong return on our investment."
BOC Aviation's portfolio is one of the youngest in the leasing business and already includes the popular A320 Family and A330 passenger aircraft.
"We are delighted to welcome another new customer for our latest, fast selling Freighter aircraft, the A330-200F", said John Leahy, Chief Operating Officer, Customers. "Having BOC Aviation as a new customer for our successful new freighter is a further recognition that the aircraft's unique flexibility, excellent efficiency and superior performance are fully in line with market needs," he added.
