Fort Lauderdale-based aircraft lessor Azorra has acquired nine GE CF34-10E engines from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE), expanding its portfolio in the regional jet engine market. This transaction builds on prior deals between the two companies, including Azorra’s May 2025 agreement to purchase 49 Embraer E-Jets and two CF34 engines from DAE, with closings extending into late 2025.
The CF34-10E powers Embraer E190 and E195 regional jets, as well as the Lineage 1000 business jet, delivering approximately 20,000 pounds of thrust. The engine supports short-haul operations with established reliability and fuel efficiency. Azorra lists CF34-10E engines, such as those with serial numbers ESN 424286 and ESN 994501, as available for lease or purchase, providing short-term, long-term, and AOG support to operators.
Earlier in July 2025, Azorra signed a sale and purchase agreement with JetBlue for 13 Embraer E190 airframes and 36 CF34-10E6 engines, with deliveries ongoing through Q2 2026. These moves reinforce Azorra’s leadership in the Embraer E-Jet segment and its engine leasing capabilities. John Evans, Azorra’s CEO, noted in related announcements the value of these high-quality assets for global customers. DAE’s portfolio adjustments align with its focus on Boeing, Airbus, and ATR aircraft following the Nordic Aviation Capital acquisition.
The deals highlight sustained secondary market demand for CF34-10E engines amid fleet modernizations by airlines like JetBlue.
