Airbus seals 140-Jet China deal, in talks to sell superjumbos
Airbus won orders from China to supply 140 single-aisle and wide-body jets worth US$22b at list prices and said it’s in talks to sell more A380 superjumbos there following the signing of accords on closer cooperation in the aviation and space sectors. The planemaker secured an outline deal for 100 A320-series jets split between current and new-engine-option versions, as well as 40 of its latest twin-aisle A350s, CE Tom Enders said Wednesday. Airbus already has a narrow-body production line in Tianjin, east of Beijing, and output of the A320s will be split between that site and Europe, according to Enders. The company is also looking at expanding a Chinese completion operation for its existing A330 model to include the re-engined A330 Neo, as well as the A350, he said. <br/>
