Overview
- BOC Aviation has placed five A321neo aircraft with AJet from its Airbus orderbook in a transaction announced by the lessor.
- AJet’s CEO said the A321neos will back the carrier’s fleet modernization, network expansion and sustainability goals.
- The placement follows earlier 2025 leases for five A320neos from SMBC Aviation Capital and ten 737 MAX 8s from DAE as part of AJet’s rapid-growth plan.
- Industry data show AJet runs a large mixed fleet with many aircraft on wet lease, underlining the carrier’s reliance on lessors to add capacity quickly.
- The deal strengthens ties between BOC and the Turkish Airlines Group and helps AJet pursue its decade-long aim to scale toward roughly 200 aircraft and wider service across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
