KGAL has completed two transactions for the APF 5 aircraft portfolio through its subsidiary GOAL, the longstanding joint venture between KGAL and Deutsche Lufthansa AG.
The first transaction involved investing in a leasing deal for a newly delivered Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The second transaction related to the first portfolio sale of an Airbus A350-900.
The 737 MAX 8 is Boeing’s most modern and efficient aircraft for short and medium-haul flights and, with 6,300 orders, is widely used in the market. Thanks to advanced LEAP-1B engines, redesigned aerodynamics and lighter materials, this aircraft type is around 14 percent more fuel-efficient than the 737 Next Generation.
Around 130 operators worldwide use the 737 MAX 8, including American Airlines, Ryanair and United Airlines. The narrow-body aircraft, delivered in October 2025, is equipped with up to 210 seats and leased for 12 years to VietJet Airlines, Vietnam’s largest low-cost carrier.
