Aircraft leasing company Jackson Square Aviation (JSA) has placed an order for 50 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft. This marks JSA’s first direct purchase from Airbus, making it a new customer of the European aircraft manufacturer.
Kevin McDonald, JSA’s Chief Executive Officer, described the agreement as a “milestone” for the company, which has been involved in the sale and leaseback financing 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,” he said.
Benoit de Saint-Exupéry, Executive Vice President of Sales for Airbus’ Commercial Aircraft business, welcomed the decision. “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,” he stated.
JSA is part of the Mitsubishi HC Capital Group, a publicly listed leasing company based in Japan.
The A320neo Family is among the most widely used single-aisle aircraft, with more than 19,000 orders globally. The range includes the A321neo, the largest variant, which offers extended range and performance. Airbus states that the aircraft family provides a 50% reduction in noise and at least 20% lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions compared to previous-generation models. The aircraft are currently certified to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), with a target of 100% SAF capability by 2030.
