Taiwan’s China Airlines (CAL) has set up Altitude Aircraft CAL as a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for the sale and leaseback of five of its mid-life Airbus A330-300 aircraft for a total consideration of $156 million.
Altitude Aircraft CAL will lease the five aircraft back to the Taiwanese flag carrier for five to six years, CAL has confirmed to Airfinance Journal.
The five units will likely be dismantled for parts sales following the stint. CAL operates 23 A330-300s, of which it owns 13.
While CAL would not disclose which five units had been sold to the SPV, Airfinance Journal's Fleet Tracker data shows that of the carrier’s 13 owned A330s, three were built in 2004, six in 2005, one in 2006 and three in 2007.
