Dublin | 10 January 2023:

Avolon, the international aircraft leasing company, issues an update for the fourth quarter (‘Q4’) and 2022 full year (‘FY’).

Andy Cronin, CEO Avolon, commented:

“2022 was a successful year for Avolon as borders reopened around the globe and our customers returned to the skies, capitalising on the pent-up demand for travel. This appetite for travel was reflected in the increased utilisation of our fleet compared to 2021, with demand for both our new and used aircraft support- ing our strong leasing and trading activity.

As we enter 2023, the outlook for the business is positive; we have an industry leading platform, an orderbook of new technology aircraft, a global footprint and a robust balance sheet. We are well positioned to continue to support our customers and capitalise on the improving market backdrop.”
