The contract follows a memorandum of understanding signed at the Dubai Air Show in November 2007. DAE Capital's parent company DAE is a fast developing global aerospace company with activities including airport development and operations, engineering, manufacturing and services.
"DAE Capital has built a business from ground-up and has made impressive progress since its launch," said DAE Capital's Chief Executive Officer Bob Genise.
"With our industry-experienced management team and well-defined road map, the company will become one of the top leasing companies globally."
"DAE's order is a tremendous endorsement of our aircraft products and in Airbus. We look forward to building on this partnership in the years to come," said Airbus' President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders.
DAE Capital stunned the industry with a 29 billion dollar move into the sector at last year's Dubai Air Show and already has 200 planes on order.
