CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co., Limited (“CDB Leasing”), announced today the delivery of one Boeing 737-8 aircraft to its current customer China Southern Airlines Company Limited (“China Southern”).
The MAX aircraft’s arrival follows the receipt of a pair of Airbus A321-251NXs from the lessor’s orderbook in August 2025, increasing the number of aircraft on long-term lease to the carrier to three.
“We’re thrilled to be deepening our collaboration with China Southern and appreciate the strong partnership with their team, as we continue to provide financing solutions to our partner airlines in the Greater China region,” said Michelle Wu, CDB Aviation’s Head of Commercial, Greater China. “The delivery of this latest generation aircraft will help reinforce the carrier’s growth strategy across key markets.”
