The new generation A320neo mainstream narrow-body airliner was recently delivered to China Eastern Airlines, leased from BoCom Financial Leasing Co Ltd's branch which operates in the Lin-gang Special Area in East China's Shanghai.

The A320neo aircraft is expected to help airlines further improve their operating efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

The deal is the first plane leasing project undertaken by the company since its establishment in Lin-gang.

As the first company to carry out aircraft leasing business in Lin-gang, BoCom Leasing has landed a number of firsts in the area – such as two special purpose vehicle cross-border equipment leasing programs launched on Dec 13 last year.
