CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. announced the completion of the lessor’s mandate with Estonia-based leisure carrier Marabu Airlines (“Marabu”) to deliver four Airbus A320-271N aircraft.
The lessor originally announced the lease agreements with Marabu for the PW1127GA-JM engine-equipped aircraft in November 2025. The Estonian carrier, which operates from Hamburg, Leipzig and Nuremberg and serves popular leisure destinations in the Mediterranean, mandated the deliveries as part of the initiative to grow its Airbus A320neo fleet and network.
“We’re pleased to have reached this delivery milestone in close partnership with our colleagues at Marabu,” said Jie Chen, Chief Executive Officer of CDB Aviation. “These latest-technology, fuel-efficient aircraft have made a notable impact on the airline’s efforts to enhance its operational efficiency and expand its route network. We look forward to the continued collaboration with Marabu in the future.”
“With the delivery of the fourth and final Airbus A320neo from CDB Aviation, Marabu has reached another important milestone in the expansion of its fleet. Marabu now operates a total of twelve Airbus A320neo aircraft, supporting the airline’s long-term growth strategy. These modern, fuel-efficient aircraft enable further network expansion, while offering guests even more travel options to some of the most popular leisure destinations across the Mediterranean. The successful collaboration with CDB Aviation has been instrumental in achieving this fleet expansion on schedule,” commented Paul Fabian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Marabu Airlines.
