Leasing company Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) is taking over 64 Boeing 737
MAX aircraft from competitor China Aircraft Leasing Group (CALC). These are
MAX 8s, 9s and 10s that have yet to be built and are expected to be delivered
between now and 2026.
 
The transaction brings DAE's portfolio to more than 550 aircraft (including
500 Boeings), which are leased to more than 100 customers.
 
How much money DAE pays CALC for the 737s has not been disclosed.
 
The 'why' of this transaction draws much speculation but Chinese pressure
could be involved to try marketing Chinese COMAC-aircraft to Chinese airlines
instead of Boeing and Airbus.
