On 29 January, a brand-new Airbus A319-115 passenger aircraft is successfully handed over at Airbus Tianjin. This is the first commercial Trunkliner that JIC Leasing hands over in 2019.

After the aircraft is handed over successfully, it will fly to Lijiang in Yunnan Province, China, on the same day and be launched into formal operations the next day. It will become the latest transport force for commercial passengers and visitors to Yunnan Province during this year’s Spring Festival. To date, the pre-sale for flights operated by the aircraft during the Spring Festival are almost sold out.

Civil aviation in China has always maintained a fast and steady momentum of development along side the Chinese economy. In 2018, Chinese civil aviation achieved a total turnover of 120.64 billion tonne-kilometre, a year-on-year increase of 11.4%; the passenger-transport volume reached 610 million, a year-on-year increase of 10.9%; and the cargo- and mail-transport volume amounted to 7.38 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%.

The Company leases Trunkliners and feederliners to both domestic and foreign airline companies and provides financing solutions for aviation supplies for aviation manufacturing, maintenance, operations, support and general aviation.
