AerCap has delivered the first of ten Airbus A321neo aircraft to Thai Airways, the carrier's first A321neo under a lease deal. The remaining nine A321neos are scheduled for delivery through 2028 as THAI seeks lower fuel burn, reduced CO2 and improved narrowbody efficiency.

Briefing
First of 10 A321neos handed over under a lease agreement — remaining nine are scheduled through 2028, marking THAI's entry to the A321neo family and a near‑term narrowbody fleet refresh.
The handover highlights AerCap's expanding role in absorbing and placing Airbus narrowbodies after it assumed orders and options from Spirit Airlines, shifting delivery and financing exposure in the market.
Reinforces narrowbody delivery momentum as Airbus reports improved supplier performance and higher delivery targets, supporting lessor and airline fleet renewal plans.
