ITA to acquire A350s from Kuwaiti lessor

Kuwaiti lessor ALAFCO has disclosed that it will supply several Airbus A350 twinjets to the new Italian carrier ITA Airways. ITA has signed a lease deal for four A350-900s, which will be delivered in the second and third quarters of this year. ALAFCO says the list price for the aircraft – powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines – is around $1.27b. It says, however, that it will not detail the “exact financial impact” on the company, in order to preserve competitiveness. The lessor ordered 12 A350-900s from the manufacturer, all of which have been delivered.<br/>
