Mexican low-cost carrier Viva Aerobus has closed a $52.3 million upsize with MUFG for two A321ceo aircraft, the bank said on May 14, 2025.
The upsize marks the second addition to the existing senior secured portfolio term loan, bringing the total financing to $259.2 million for eight A320/A321ceo family aircraft and four Pratt & Whitney GTF engines.
“This transaction marks another step forward in optimising our capital structure through increased aircraft ownership, enabling sustainable growth while strengthening our balance sheet,” said Viva Aerobus fleet executive director Ciprian Rodriguez.
“We are very pleased to continue supporting Viva and finance the acquisition of these two A321ceos as the airline further increases its share of owned aircraft,” said MUFG director, origination for Americas Aqmar Chowdhury.
MUFG acted as the sole structuring agent and mandated lead arranger.
