Mitsubishi HC Capital's JSA orders 50 Airbus aircraft

Mitsubishi HC Capital, through its subsidiary JSA International, has committed to purchasing 50 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft. The order, placed by JSA International's U.S. Holdings, LLC, signifies a strategic move to modernize JSA's fleet with fuel-efficient, next-generation aircraft. JSA aims to expand its business, improve profitability, and support environmental sustainability in the aviation sector. The A320neo Family aircraft aligns with JSA’s focus on high-liquidity narrowbody aircraft and will help increase its share of next-generation aircraft, improving fuel efficiency by 20%. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2031, ensuring that the company will maintain a young fleet. The transaction will be partly financed through debt with aircraft manufacturer Airbus. Mitsubishi HC Capital expects the JSA unit to enhance corporate value, contribute to resolving challenges in the aviation industry and help lead to further growth.
