Airbus Sets A Sales Record As Chinese Airlines Buy 292 Planes In 1 Day
The European planemaker adds another page to its record books.
As four of China's largest carriers expand their fleets, Airbus takes the spoils over its arch-rival Boeing in the battle for dominance of the skies over China and beyond.
Airbus wins again
Airbus has dealt a further blow to its nearest rival, Boeing, winning orders for almost 300 narrowbody aircraft worth over US$37 billion in a single day. This order represents a record for the European planemaker, which appears to be stretching its lead over its US-based rival in terms of orders for new planes in 2022.
In addition to the orders received from the four carriers involved, Airbus will supply an additional 19 aircraft through lease agreements. The details of the mass order have been announced by Airbus today, clearly proud of the inroads it is making in the Chinese commercial airplane market.
.......
China Southern's eye-catching order
The order from China Southern is particularly noteworthy. While Airbus has sold aircraft to the carrier in the past, the airline has remained Boeing's biggest Chinese customer for years. However, this relationship may have soured when China Southern decided to remove more than 100 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft from its order book, citing the uncertainty over delivery schedules.
