Henan's first cross-border aircraft lease:
HNCA Leasing delivers ATR72-600 to Air Cambodia
河南首单跨境飞机租赁业务落地，航投租赁首架ATR72-600交付柬国航运营
On May 21 at 11:00 local time, the aircraft leasing company under Henan Civil Aviation Development & Investment Co., Ltd (HNCA Leasing) successfully delivered an ATR72-600 aircraft at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport in France, marking the debut of Henan's cross-border aircraft leasing. The aircraft will enter service with Air Cambodia under a financial leasing agreement.
当地时间5月21日11时，在法国图卢兹布拉尼亚克机场，河南航投航空融资租赁有限公司（以下简称“航投租赁”）顺利完成一架ATR72-600飞机交付，标志着河南首单跨境飞机租赁业务正式落地。该飞机将以融资租赁模式交付柬埔寨国家航空公司（以下简称“柬国航”）投入运营。
"This delivery marks another breakthrough in aircraft leasing innovation, as Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone (ZAEZ) is steering in the direction of 'Air Silk Road' demonstration zone", according to ZAEZ's Aerospace Command. As the only region in central China continuously engaged in aircraft leasing, ZAEZ has achieved full coverage in leasing models- including operating, financial, bonded, and non-bonded leases, for both new and used aircraft, alongside onshore and offshore transactions. The cross-border dual-offshore leasing model in ZAEZ, with both ends located overseas, establishes a pioneering framework for aircraft leasing in the province, but also exemplifies new offshore trade practices in aviation finance, showcasing its global competitiveness and elevating its role in open economic collaboration.
“本次交付是郑州航空港聚焦‘空中丝绸之路’示范区建设，在飞机租赁业务领域取得的又一突破。”郑州航空港经济综合实验区航空航天指挥部相关负责人表示，作为中部省份唯一持续开展飞机租赁业务的区域，郑州航空港已实现经营性租赁和融资租赁、保税租赁和非保税租赁、全新飞机租赁和二手飞机租赁，以及在岸租赁模式和离岸租赁模式的全覆盖。本次“两头在外”的跨境双离岸飞机租赁模式，不仅开创了河南飞机租赁业务新模式，也是“新型离岸贸易”在航空金融领域的生动实践，彰显了郑州航空港的国际竞争力与开放合作新高度。
As the national flag carrier of Cambodia, Air Cambodia currently operates a fleet that includes ATR72 series aircraft and Airbus A320 jets, playing a key role in the Southeast Asian route network. In recent years, it has continued to expand its presence in the Chinese market. In 2022, it launched the Phnom Penh-Zhengzhou route, followed by establishing its Chinese headquarters at ZAEZ in 2023, marking Henan's first foreign airline headquarters.
柬国航作为柬埔寨国家载旗航空公司，现有运营机队包括ATR72系列以及空客A320系列等机型，在东南亚航线网络中扮演关键角色。近年来，柬国航持续拓展中国市场，并于2022年开通金边—郑州航线，2023年将中国总部落户郑州航空港，成为首家在豫设立中国总部的外国航空公司。
Industry insiders have stated that this cooperation offers advantages such as high financing efficiency, flexible resource allocation, and strong risk isolation. It will help Air Cambodia optimize its fleet structure, develop a "China trunk line + Lancang-Mekong regional feeder" route network, and further expand the reach of the Henan-Cambodia-ASEAN "Air Silk Road". Additionally, it will enhance expertise for the international development of Henan's aviation finance.
相关业内人士表示，此次合作具有融资效率高、资源配置灵活、风险隔离性强等优势，将助力柬国航优化机队结构，打造“中国干线+澜湄国家区域支线”航线网络，进一步提升河南—柬埔寨—东盟“空中丝绸之路”通达范围，同时为河南航空金融国际化发展积累宝贵经验。（中文来源/河南日报客户端 记者/杨凌 杨亚坤 编译/张雅涵 审校/陈行洁 赵汉青）
