Singapore-based lessor BOC Aviation on Thursday announced it has placed a firm order with Airbus covering 18 A320neos and 12 current-generation A320s worth $3.1 billion at list prices. The Bank of China subsidiary signed the deal last month, soon after shareholders approved BOC Aviation’s listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In October the bank said it planned to issue the $3 billion IPO in Hong Kong to finance more aircraft purchases.
