Aviation Capital Group Airbus aircraft order

Overview

Aviation Capital Group (ACG), a US-based aircraft leasing and asset management firm owned by Tokyo Century, has placed a firm order for 75 Airbus A320neo family aircraft. Valued at approximately $11.7 billion, this transaction represents the largest single order in the company’s nearly 40-year history.

The order aims to meet global demand for next-generation narrowbody aircraft, bringing ACG’s total orders for this specific aircraft type to 190 units. Deliveries are scheduled to begin between 2032 and 2035. The aircraft are expected to feature various seating configurations to allow for customization to specific airline requirements.

This investment reinforces a commercial partnership between ACG and Airbus that began in 2007. Airbus noted that the A320neo family offers at least a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to previous generations. ACG CEO Thomas Baker stated the investment reflects confidence in the long-term future of air travel and the demand for new-technology narrowbody aircraft.
