The agreement is JSA’s first direct order with Airbus, making the lessor a new Airbus customer.

Kevin McDonald, JSA’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “This is an exciting milestone in JSA’s history as a longtime global leader in the sale and leaseback financings of Airbus aircraft. JSA looks forward to our expanded relationship with Airbus. We are excited to add the A320neo to our long-term pipeline as we continue our mission to provide the world’s airlines with superior fleet and capital solutions.”

Benoit de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business said: “Jackson Square Aviation has an impressive client base and we welcome its decision to become part of the Airbus family. After a thorough evaluation, JSA’s selection of the Airbus A320neo adds the leading single aisle aircraft family with outstanding performance and passenger comfort to its portfolio of aircraft for its airlines.”

JSA is part of the Mitsubishi HC Capital Group, a global leasing company based in Japan and publicly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The A320 Family has won more than 19,000 orders globally. The Family includes the largest member, the A321neo. The Family offers 50% noise reduction and at least 20% fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft. The A320 Family can operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) today and aims at up to 100% by 2030.
