Bohai Leasing to sell 22 leased aircraft assets for about $1.398B

The mix of 16 narrowbody, 5 widebody and a single regional jet points to a portfolio cleanup rather than a targeted fleet bet, and the split between direct sales and trustee-routed deliveries suggests some assets carry structural or jurisdictional friction that a straightforward trade would not. For an owner like Avolon, converting leased metal into cash at a negotiated price is a liquidity and balance-sheet signal as much as an aviation one, and it lands against a broader backdrop of aircraft trading activity that RWA and tokenization markets increasingly cite as a template for cash-flowing asset deals. Whether the final price holds near the stated market level, and how the 12-month delivery window is executed, are the open questions.
