China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited (CALC) has placed a firm order for 30 additional Airbus A320neo Family aircraft, according to an announcement from Airbus on December 30, 2025. The order aims to meet continued demand from CALC’s airline customers.
This latest agreement marks the fifth time CALC has ordered aircraft from Airbus, bringing its total orders with the manufacturer to 282 planes. Of these, 203 are part of the A320neo Family.
Mike Poon, Executive Director and CEO of CALC, stated: “Our enduring partnership with Airbus has been central to CALC’s growth. This latest order reflects our shared vision for innovation and sustainable aviation. We are proud to grow alongside Airbus and to continue providing our airline customers worldwide with high-value, modern aircraft solutions.”
Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business, commented: “CALC has been a long time valued partner of Airbus with its first order placed in 2012, and it’s a privilege to see another repeat order. CALC’s deep understanding of the market and what its customers demand is a solid endorsement of the A320neo Family. This commitment reinforces their strength as a lessor with the most efficient, versatile, and in-demand single-aisle aircraft for their customers.”
The A320 Family remains one of the best-selling single-aisle aircraft lines globally, having accumulated over 19,000 orders. The family includes models such as the A321neo and offers improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO₂ emissions compared to earlier generations. The cabin design also focuses on passenger comfort.
Airbus states that all current A320 Family aircraft can operate using up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), with plans for full SAF capability by 2030.
