The aircraft is leased from SMBC Aviation Capital and powered by two Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines. The ambitious airline will lease five A320neo aircraft from SMBC, but has a total of over 80 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft on order. JetSmart is founded by global private investment fund Indigo Partners. It began operations in July 2017.
