Last updated Airbus made with the setting of the giant airplane A380 in the headlines – now the plane can look forward to Bauer but a big order: China buys the Europeans, and 300 aircraft.
The European aircraft manufacturer Airbus has received a billion-dollar order from China. With the state aviation service provider China Aviation Supplies Holding company (CAS) has been completed, an agreement on the sale of 300 aircraft, said Airbus. Specifically, it is about 290 medium-range jets from the A320 family and ten Langstreckenjets the A350 series.
Airbus may be recorded in order for its best-selling A320 another success. U.S. rival Boeing is fighting routes, however, in his own medium-model 737 Max to crash after two aircraft with an enormous image damage and the possible loss of jobs.
The large order was signed on the sidelines of a state visit by China’s head of state Xi Jinping in Paris. The President of France, Emmanuel Macron saw in the deal an “excellent sign” for the close trade relations between the two countries.
the value of the order nothing was the first to be officially known. According to the Airbus price list, the sum would probably be at about 30 billion dollars (27 billion euros). Due to industry-standard discounts, the actual agreed-upon purchase price is likely to be considerably lower.
China – has long been important for Airbus
By Airbus, China was already a significant market, with Nearly a quarter of its commercial aircraft the company supplies in the country. But also in the production of China is an important Partner. Including Airbus in Tianjin, A319 and A320 – aircraft mount.
The A320-family includes the Airbus A320neo, the fuel-efficient new edition of the Airbus A320. According to the company, more than 700 A320neo aircraft in the world airlines are already in use. Due to the high demand, the manufacturer expanded the production. Whether in the now closed China Deal and the A320neo are included, was initially unclear.
For Airbus, the major order in each case, at a convenient time. Most recently, the aircraft manufacturer made a rather negative view of the talk: In February, the company announced the delivery of the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the A380, starting in the year 2021 – due to a lack of demand.
