ITA Airways (AZ, Rome Fiumicino) will lease ten incremental A320-200Ns and two A330-900s from AerCap, adding to aircraft from both types previously ordered directly from Airbus.
The twelve aircraft will deliver to the Italian state-owned carrier in 2023 and 2024 and are sourced from the lessor's Airbus order book which, the ch-aviation fleets module shows, consists of fifty-eight outstanding A320-200Ns (of which 51 are currently not assigned to an operator) and a further 48 (including 36 unassigned) inherited from GECAS, through the acquisition completed in November 2021. The lessor also has an order for twelve A330-900s, all of them via GECAS and not yet assigned to any operator.
The Italian carrier previously ordered eleven A320-200Ns and ten A330-900s (as well as seven A220-300s) from Airbus. It has also committed to leasing at least six A350-900s, including four from ALAFCO.
ITA Airways' current fleet comprises eighteen A319-100s, thirty A320-200s, and seven A330-200s, all of which were inherited from predecessor Alitalia.
