AerCap manages a fleet of 1,869 aircraft through special purpose vehicles (SPVs), which includes a significant number of A321neos. Among them are unassigned units awaiting operators. Additionally, Thai Airways International is set to receive ten A321neos equipped with CFM International LEAP-1A engines between Q3 2025 and Q2 2026.

Turkish Airlines continues to expand its fleet with orders from both Airbus and Boeing. By December 2023, they had ordered numerous Airbus models alongside recent orders for four Boeing freighters in July.
