Gigantic Airbus Deal from China

[MarkusS]

As an employee i´m really happy about that deal. So far China ordered 130 airplanes. Thats a gigantic contract. So far its the largest contract China ever made in aviation.

The contract is worth 17 billion $ and consists of 100 A320 machines:

The A320 is used for short and mid ranged routes.

And 30 A330 machines.

Whiche is used for long ranges.

That deal is amazing and pushs Airbus even more into the lead. Our production lines are already running red hot.

But the chinese market is strange. Normally we make consultations with airlines. In China most is done through the government.

I had the impression when i was in china, that the chinese are very proud to have Airbus and they are quite loyal.

China, Turkey, Indonesia and Iran. Thank you very much.

 

[MarkusS]

China, Turkey, Indonesia and Iran. Thank you very much.

Iran 0 so far. We are still in negotiations.

China is the main customer with over 500 orders.

Turkish Airlines has 95 orders

Garuda Airlines from Indonesia has 12 orders

We expect Iran to be Nr. 2nd after China when the deal is done.

 

[jammersat]

don't be so optimistic , iran is more likely to buy boeings directly from the united states , of course after a couple of more talks on the "nuclear" issue , the love of america is so blind in iran it's more or less like the love of jews in western countries

[Indika]

Whatever happened to their own home made plane C919? They should buy it themselves to prove its credibility.

 

[Silverblaze]

Are these the neo family?

Anyways, Chinese market is going to need close to 6000 planes by 2025, so lets see how much of that goes to Airbus. But still Airbus main clients are still the middle eastern carriers.

 

[That Guy]

I'm pretty sure this has more to do with politics than the actual needs that China has. Considering that the deal is so huge, which came as a surprise to everyone, it may have been to enhance Sino-Euro relations.

What division do you work for? Engineering, sales, management?

Also, why didn't Chinese airlines order the A350?
