Their need

To bolster its long-haul fleet, Emirates sought to acquire two Airbus A350s. This transaction required robust and secure financing, given the significant sums involved in international deliveries and the presence of multiple stakeholders. Furthermore, the aviation sector is subject to stringent regulations and complex payment cycles, necessitating structured and reliable support.

Our Solution

Bpifrance Assurance Export acted as lead insurer to guarantee the loans granted by the Citibank NA branch in the United Arab Emirates, thus enabling the financing of the two Airbus A350s. The transaction was supported by European export credit agencies.

Unconditional guarantee

Enable the financing of export contracts for civil aircraft and helicopters by unconditionally guaranteeing non-repayment of the credit

Result

Thanks to the guarantees provided by Bpifrance Assurance Export, Emirates was able to integrate the first two Airbus A350s into its fleet under optimal conditions. The transaction secured financing and facilitated the delivery of these aircraft.
