Commenting on behalf of Jazeera was their Chief Executive, Rohit Ramachandran who said, “Jazeera has a strong focus on growth over the coming years, and our fleet expansion plans have been greatly assisted by this new agreement with CDB Aviation.

We are pleased to be partnering with CDB Aviation to enable this important deal.”

Also commenting from CDB Aviation was the Chief Commercial Officer, Peter Goodman who concluded, “Notwithstanding the unprecedented challenges brought on the air travel industry, the pandemic created unique opportunities for airlines to tap into latent demand and expand into underserved markets.
