Titan Aviation Leasing Delivers First of Two Airbus A330-200P2F to JD Airlines
DUBLIN, Dec. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Titan Aviation Leasing (“Titan”), the joint venture between Titan Aviation Holdings, Inc. (a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide) and Bain Capital, today announced the delivery of an Airbus A330-200P2F aircraft (MSN 832) to JD Airlines, the cargo airline of JD.com, Inc, a technology and service enterprise with supply chain at its core and China's largest retailer by revenue. This is the first of two A330 freighters Titan will place with the carrier under long-term operating leases.
The delivery marks the start of a new commercial relationship between Titan and JD Airlines. MSN 832 expands JD Airlines’ widebody freighter capacity to meet growing express and cross-border logistics demand driven by e-commerce across Asia.
“We are pleased to announce the delivery of the first of two A330-200P2F aircraft to JD Airlines,” said Eamonn Forbes, Chief Commercial Officer, Titan Aviation Leasing. “This transaction aligns with Titan’s strategy of deploying capital into high-demand freighter segments with strong counterparties. Leasing these aircraft underscores Asia’s strategic importance in global trade and demonstrates our commitment to providing efficient, flexible freighter capacity to operators serving e-commerce and express markets.”
The aircraft supports JD Airlines next stage of development and the expansion of JD Logistics’ international footprint across the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Europe regions.
The A330-200P2F provides a payload of up to 61 tonnes and a range of up to 4,200 nautical miles, delivering a proven combination of fuel efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility. These capabilities make it ideal for both long-haul international routes and regional operations, supporting JD Airlines’ ability to scale freighter services within Asia and to key global markets, enhancing delivery speed and capacity for JINGDONG Logistics' clients in the region.
Titan’s second A330-200P2F for JD Airlines is scheduled to be delivered in the first half of 2026. Both aircraft will be managed by Titan.
