Azorra has completed its acquisition of 49 Embraer E-Jet aircraft and two General Electric CF-34 engines from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) Ltd. Since the initial agreement was signed in May 2025, the leases for these assets have been transferred to 12 airlines worldwide.

John Evans, Azorra’s CEO, said: “We are delighted to mark the completion of this significant portfolio acquisition from DAE, which represents another milestone in Azorra’s continued growth. Multi-asset transactions of this scale demonstrate our ability to structure and execute strategic investments that strengthen our fleet and deliver sustainable value to our airline partners.”

Small narrowbody aircraft strategy

Evans added: “These aircraft and engines are proven, reliable assets that align with our strategy in the small narrowbody aircraft segment. They strengthen our position in a market we know deeply and reflect our confidence in the long-term potential of this sector. We are also pleased to extend our strong partnership with DAE through this successful transaction.”

Following the acquisition, Azorra’s portfolio, comprising owned, managed and committed assets, exceeds 300 aircraft and engines as of May 2026.
