China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited (CALC), a full value-chain aircraft solutions provider for the global aviation industry, is pleased to announce the signing of lease agreements with SalamAir, Oman’s Low-Cost Carrier, for two Airbus A320ceo aircraft scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2026. 

This agreement for two aircraft, coming off leases from CALC’s current PRC fleet, highlights CALC’s capability to leverage its aircraft portfolio to build new relationships in global markets whilst offering end-to-end fleet solutions, including aircraft remarketing and transition management, as part of its full value-chain services. 

Winnie Liu, President and CCO of CALC, said: “We are delighted to start a new partnership with SalamAir. This agreement underscores the value of CALC’s diversified portfolio and asset management expertise, enabling efficient aircraft transitions that support both customer needs and sustainable portfolio performance.” 

Adrian Hamilton-Manns, CEO of SalamAir, said: “We are excited to embark on this partnership with CALC. As we developed and actioned our fleet expansion plan, CALC had been beside us as a willing partner. Our expansion plan of 10 aircraft, to take our fleet to 25 within the next 3 years, begins with the CALC A320ceo deliveries. As Oman’s Low-Cost airline's success requires growth, with these aircraft, we can expand into new markets and continue our approach to bringing more markets to Oman. Today’s announcement is another step toward our long-term ambitions, as well as adding a valuable partner who supports this vision.”  

The aircraft will be operated by SalamAir on six-year lease terms, supporting the airline’s fleet standardization and growth plan as a key piece of Oman’s transport infrastructure, aligned with Oman’s national “Vision 2040 Strategy. SalamAir continues to cement its role as a key pillar of the Sultanate’s aviation and tourism sectors, expanding its route network, strengthening Oman’s position as a regional travel hub, and opening wider opportunities for tourism, trade, and cultural exchange.
