China Considering Ordering Hundreds of Airbus Aircraft
- China is considering ordering between 200 and 500 Airbus narrowbody and widebody aircraft, potentially finalizing the deal by next month in Beijing.
- The possible order follows ongoing trade tensions with the US and aligns with a July visit by European leaders to celebrate 50 years of China-EU diplomatic ties.
- China’s state-run aircraft procurement body usually negotiates on behalf of airlines, and the deal could include models like the A330neo amid Boeing’s lack of new major orders in China.
- A 300-aircraft order in 2022 was valued at about $37 billion, while the current one could be among the largest in history, with sources stating it "could be between 200 to as many as 500 aircraft."
- If completed, the order would strengthen Airbus’s position in China amid US-China trade disputes and signal a diplomatic message from Xi Jinping toward US trade policy.
