Atlas Air Worldwide has today announced that Titan Aviation Leasing has acquired one Boeing 777-300ER on long-term lease to Taiwan-based China Airlines.
On Tuesday (January 20, 2026), Titan Aviation Leasing, a joint venture between Titan Aviation Holdings, Inc. (a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide) and Bain Capital, announced the acquisition of a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on long-term lease to China Airlines (CAL). The transaction closed on December 24, 2025, and Titan will manage the aircraft, manufacturer serial number (MSN) 41823. The acquisition expands Titan’s growing portfolio of modern, long-haul widebody aircraft, and supports China Airlines’ continued network growth. Aviation Capital Group (ACG) facilitated Titan’s timely acquisition of the aircraft from Korea Investments & Securities Co.
In Tuesday’s announcement, Titan Aviation Leasing’s Chief Commercial Officer, Eamonn Forbes, said,
“This transaction reflects Titan’s growth strategy and our focus on enabling airline partners to scale with confidence.

The Boeing 777-300ER offers a range of up to approximately 7,370 nautical miles and high-capacity, twin-engine efficiency. That combination lets airlines operate dense, long-haul routes nonstop while maintaining competitive seat-mile economics.
