BOC Aviation, the Singapore-based aircraft leasing unit of Bank of China, has placed additional firm orders with Airbus for 20 A320 Family aircraft.

"Our latest orders reflect ongoing demand for leased aircraft from the A320 Family at both full service and low cost airlines around the world," said Robert Martin, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, BOC Aviation. "The decision to acquire these additional aircraft also represents a sound investment in a proven asset, offering long term value for our business."

Altogether, the company has now ordered 98 single aisle aircraft directly from Airbus, of which 58 have already been delivered.
