Avianca has been given court approval to enter into leases with GECAS for eight Airbus A320s, including two amended leases that will now be on a per-hour basis. The airline's parent company Avianca Holdings is currently the subject of US Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and a court order authorising the aircraft leases was filed on 17 March. This covers new lease agreements for six A320neos and amended leases for two A320ceos for the Colombian flag carrier. The amended leases are on a per-hour basis, rather than the fixed monthly rates, for the six A320neos, according to a motion filed by the Avianca debtors requesting authorisation of the leases. Per-hour pricing for MSNs 4487 and 4599 extends beyond the Chapter 11 cases and "ensures that those leases will not burden the debtors with fixed rents in the event of a low-demand period". Regarding the new leases for the six A320neos with CFM Leap engines, the debtors state that the rental payments are on "terms that are suitable for uncertain near-term market conditions, both during and immediately after the Chapter 11 cases". With a nod to how the Covid-19 pandemic has decimated air travel demand worldwide, the filing states: "The debtors were able to obtain these favourable lease terms, in part, due to the historically low level of demand for aircraft in the current market." It further states: "These aircraft transactions represent a major step forward in the debtors' plans to redevelop a fleet and capital structure that will meet their short-term and long-term needs." Exact terms of the leases are being kept confidential.
