BOC Aviation Limited ("BOC Aviation" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has added its first Airbus A320NEO aircraft to its fleet. The aircraft was delivered on lease to Vistara.

This aircraft delivery is part of an Airbus A320 family lease placement transaction signed with the airline in 2014, including seven A320NEO variants, all of which will be powered by the CFM LEAP engine.

"We are very excited to take delivery of our first A320NEO aircraft, given the NEO's demonstrable record of fuel-savings and performance improvements," said Mr. Robert Martin, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of BOC Aviation.

"This aircraft is the first of 63 A320NEOs from our orderbook, all scheduled for delivery between now and 2021. Our investment in this aircraft is testament to our commitment to our airline customers to provide modern, fuel-efficient aircraft," he added.
