Azorra completes acquisition of E-Jet portfolio from DAE

Azorra has completed the acquisition of 49 Embraer E-Jet aircraft and two General Electric CF34 engines from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE).

Since the original purchase agreement was signed in May 2025, the assets have been placed with 12 airline customers worldwide, reflecting strong demand for Embraer’s E-Jet family.

Chief Executive Officer John Evans said the transaction represents a major step in Azorra’s continued growth and highlights the company’s ability to execute large-scale strategic investments that support both fleet expansion and long-term airline partnerships.

He added that the aircraft and engines are well-proven assets that fit Azorra’s strategy in the small narrowbody sector and reinforce the company’s confidence in the long-term prospects of the market.

Evans also said the deal further strengthens Azorra’s relationship with DAE following the successful completion of the transaction.

As of May 2026, Azorra’s portfolio of owned, managed and committed aircraft and engines exceeds 300 assets.
