BOC Aviation Limited (“BOC Aviation” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the delivery of its 200th Boeing airplane. The Next Generation 737-800 aircraft was delivered to Lion Air Group and will be operated by its Malaysian affiliate, Malindo Air, based in Kuala Lumpur.

The aircraft will be operated by Malindo to support its network expansion plans in the region including services to Australia.

“Our strong partnership with Boeing enables both parties to deliver the support expected by airline customers,” Mr. Martin added. “We are also pleased to celebrate this milestone with a member of the Lion group, which is a leading low-cost carrier in Southeast Asia.”

Mr Edward Sirait, Chairman of Lion Group, said, “Lion Group values the long standing partnership with BOC Aviation, which has supported our growth across Southeast Asia. Malindo’s Chief Executive Officer, Chandran Rama Muthy, said, “Malindo is delighted to be part of this important milestone for BOC Aviation.”

“For two decades, Boeing has been proud to partner with BOC Aviation as it has grown into one of the world’s largest leasing companies,” said Ihssane Mounir, Vice President, Global Sales & Marketing, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “This 200th Boeing airplane is a testament to our long partnership and BOC Aviation’s dedication to providing the most-capable airplanes to airlines around the world."
