Lesha Bank Agrees to Sell Six Airbus A380 Aircraft to Emirates, Delivers First Two

Lesha Bank, through an investment structure on behalf of Lesha Aviation Fund, has reached an agreement to sell six Airbus A380 aircraft to Emirates, with the first two aircraft already delivered.

The remaining four aircraft are scheduled to transfer to Emirates in stages through April 2028, coinciding with the expiration of their respective lease agreements.

The transaction will transition the aircraft from leased assets to direct ownership by Emirates, supporting the Dubai-based carrier’s long-term fleet strategy and continued operation of the A380 on its international network.

Emirates, the world’s largest A380 operator, continues to maintain the aircraft as a central component of its long-haul fleet, particularly on high-capacity routes.

For Lesha Bank, the sale represents a further transaction within its aviation investment portfolio, involving the phased disposal of widebody aircraft assets as existing leases mature.

Lesha Aviation Services said the agreement reflects its longstanding relationship with Emirates and its strategy of managing aircraft investments through structured transactions and asset sales.

The parties did not disclose the transaction value, aircraft serial numbers or individual delivery dates for the remaining four aircraft.
