Azorra buys DAE’s Airbus A220-300 orderbook for eight PW1500G-powered jets

Azorra, the Florida-based lessor, has acquired Dubai Aerospace Enterprise’s (DAE) inherited orderbook for eight Airbus A220-300s. The package includes two aircraft currently on lease to TAAG Angola Airlines, with all jets powered by Pratt & Whitney’s PW1500G.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

The deal underscores continuing A220-300 demand through the secondary market for lessors, reallocating delivery positions originally held by DAE—important for timing and placement strategy as A220 output and delivery schedules remain tightly managed (see Airbus hits 500th A220 handover as March deliveries rebound—Q1 still down 16% amid engine constraints).
By confirming an eight-ship, PW1500G-powered orderbook transfer that includes in-service leased assets, Azorra can immediately monetize placements—providing another data point on the A220 program’s commercial durability after recent order-momentum headlines (see Airbus set to announce up to 150 A220 jets from AirAsia in Canada).
The transaction arrives as Airbus weighs the next A220 step, including a potential A220-500 stretch—making every incremental orderbook/placement signal relevant to industrial capacity planning and certification risk management (see Airbus poised to launch stretched A220-500 at Farnborough amid production and market constraints).
