CDB Aviation Completes Five-Aircraft A321neo Delivery Program with LATAM

CDB Aviation has completed the delivery of five Airbus A321neos to LATAM Airlines Group under lease agreements signed in 2025, expanding the lessor’s relationship with South America’s largest airline group.

The five A321-271NX aircraft are powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines. With completion of the latest delivery program, CDB Aviation now has six A321neos on lease to LATAM.

The additional aircraft provide LATAM with higher-capacity narrowbody equipment as it continues to modernize and diversify its fleet across South America. The A321neo’s range also gives the group flexibility to deploy the type on longer routes connecting its regional network with destinations in the Caribbean and North America.

For CDB Aviation, the transaction increases its exposure to Latin America as passenger demand and airline fleet requirements continue to expand across the region.

Dublin-based CDB Aviation is wholly owned by China Development Bank Financial Leasing.
