Azorra expands engine portfolio with DAE deal

Azorra has acquired nine General Electric CF34-10E engines from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE).

The engines power Embraer E190 and E195 aircraft and will join Azorra’s existing portfolio for lease to airline customers worldwide. Shahin Mehrabanzad, Azorra’s Vice President for Engine Programmes and Support Solutions, stated that the deal reflects the companies’ relationship and Azorra’s emphasis on high-demand engine assets. He noted that in the current market, with maintenance delays and long shop visit timelines, these engines offer immediate support for fleet reactivation and operations.

This transaction follows an agreement in May 2025, when Azorra agreed to purchase 49 Embraer E-Jet aircraft and two CF34 engines from DAE. As of April 2026, Azorra’s portfolio of owned, managed, and committed aircraft and engines exceeds 300 assets.
