The Dublin-based company recently agreed a sale to Chinese operator Bohai Leasing for US$31 a-share, valuing the business at US$7.6 billion.
In an update on Tuesday, Avolon said that it has delivered eight craft worth US$346 million over the third quarter and sold a further seven.
During the period, it committed to leasing five 787-9s to Hainan, subject to the Bohai deal going through. The transaction is valued at US$1.3 billion.
Its total commitments for delivery next year now stand at 29 aircraft, the company said.
