ABL Aviation completes 15-aircraft delivery to Air France

  • ABL Aviation has successfully delivered the fifteenth and final Airbus A220-300 to Air France, completing a long-term 15-aircraft mandate.
  • This strategic partnership supports Air France’s fleet renewal with fuel-efficient, low-emission aircraft.
  • The milestone underscores ABL Aviation’s expertise in managing complex, cross-border aircraft transactions and its growing leadership in the global aircraft leasing market.

ABL Aviation has completed the delivery of the fifteenth and final Airbus A220-300 aircraft (MSN 55393) to Air France, marking the successful completion of a long-term, 15-aircraft mandate between the two companies. The milestone reinforces a strategic partnership rooted in innovation, disciplined execution, and trust.

Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW1521G-3 engines, the Airbus A220-300 supports Air France’s ongoing fleet renewal strategy by offering greater fuel efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and enhanced operational performance. Its flexible range capabilities and quieter, more comfortable cabin further improve the passenger experience on the airline’s short and medium-haul network.

“This final delivery is a proud milestone for ABL Aviation,” said Ali Ben Lmadani, Founder and CEO of ABL Aviation. “From the first aircraft to the fifteenth, our partnership with Air France has shown what can be achieved through alignment, discipline, and shared vision. We are grateful for Air France’s continued trust and proud to have supported their fleet modernisation strategy with one of the world’s most efficient narrow-body aircraft.”

Since the inception of the mandate, ABL Aviation has worked alongside Air France and its investors to structure and deliver 15 Airbus A220-300 aircraft, each supported by tailored financing and rigorous execution standards. This transaction highlights ABL Aviation’s capability to manage complex, multi-year mandates and underscores its growing leadership in the global aircraft leasing and asset management space.

With this latest delivery, ABL Aviation further strengthens its position as one of the most active managers of the Airbus A220 platform, combining deep experience in cross-border structuring with hands-on portfolio execution.
