CDB Aviation has announced the delivery of a second Boeing 737-MAX8 to South Korea’s T’way Air. The 737-MAX8 aircraft is configured with 189 single-class economy seats and equipped with the CFM LEAP-1B27 engines. The carrier currently has two 737-MAX8 aircraft on lease from CDB Aviation. This delivery follows on from the recent delivery of another Boeing 737-MAX 8 to China Southern Airlines from the CDB Aviation orders with Boeing
Commenting on the delivery, the CDB Aviation Chief Executive Officer, Jie Chen, said, “We’re pleased to be further expanding our collaboration with T’way, one of the fastest growing carriers in South Korea, with this transaction for the MAX Family aircraft. This transaction was one of the rare MAX skyline placement campaigns in the region that effectively leveraged the strength of our leasing platform and access to new-gen aircraft to support T’way’s fleet renewal and regional network expansion plans. As we continue to grow our global footprint, building trusted relationships with airlines across all key markets is central to our efforts. The teams on both sides have worked together to build a strong partnership between our companies, executing on the potential deal opportunities that enable T’way to transition to the new-generation aircraft and to focus on the APAC regional routes.”
Also commenting was the Chief Executive Officer and Representative Director at T’way, Sang Yoon Lee, who added, “We are delighted to receive this high-efficiency aircraft from our valued partner, CDB Aviation. This delivery is a meaningful milestone in our fleet renewal plan, enabling us to enhance operational efficiency, offer improved in-flight experiences, and pursue more sustainable operations.”
