CALC orders 30 ARJ21s for placement with TransNusa

The China Aircraft Leasing Co. (CALC) has signed an order with COMAC for 30 additional ARJ21s. The aircraft are destined for Indonesian carrier TransNusa and will all be delivered before the end of 2026. CALC also took options on another 30 ARJ21s.

In December 2019 CALC and TransNusa signed a strategic cooperation to grow the airline and also interesting is that CALC is a shareholder via their subsidiary Aviation Synergy which owns Naga Pacific Holdings which in its turn owns 49% of TransNusa.

The 30 ARJ21s will be a significant increase for TransNusa's fleet, which currently consists of one ATR42-500, seven ATR72-600s and a single BAe146-100.
