Egypt-based CIAF Leasing has secured $44 million in financing from the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) for the acquisition of three Embraer E-190 aircrafts to boost the company’s leasing operations, as per a press release on June 7th.

Afreximbank acted as the transaction’s senior debt provider, while the Brazilian National Development Bank (BNDES) provided an export credit funding line.
