BOC Aviation secured its first financing deal for Qatar Airways’ A350-1000 fleet by leasing three aircraft under long-term operating agreements. The Singapore-based leasing firm delivered all three widebodies, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines, to Qatar Airways at Hamad International Airport in Doha. CEO Steven Townend highlighted the company’s strengthened liquidity position in early 2026 as critical for deploying capacity toward this high-value transaction with a top-tier customer. This agreement expands BOC Aviation’s portfolio of 813 aircraft and engines leased to 88 airlines, reinforcing the A350-1000’s dominance in long-haul connectivity amid post-pandemic recovery. No lease term or financial value was disclosed, though the aircraft are already operational.
