AerFin has completed the sale of an Airbus A330 airframe to the parts trading arm of an airline. The transaction supports the supply of used serviceable material in the global aviation aftermarket.
A330 airframes help airlines and parts traders maintain fleets amid cost pressures and material shortages. Auvinash Narayen, AerFin’s Chief Investment Officer, stated that widebody airframes remain a key source of material for platforms with extended operational lives. He noted that the sale demonstrates AerFin’s capability to place assets with customers who can maximize their value.
The deal closed at the end of 2025. Separately, AerFin leased a CF6-80 engine to a major airline just last week, addressing urgent needs for fleet continuity. AerFin had acquired a CF6-80 powered A330 earlier in 2025, though it is unclear if this relates to the airframe sale.
These moves occur as widebody operators face ongoing challenges with parts availability.
