Air China Orders 55 Airbus Jets | Business and Finance News

Air China and Shenzhen Airlines just locked in a massive $12.4 billion deal for 55 new Airbus jets—A350-900s for long-hauls and A320neos for short-hauls—boosting their fleets by 7.1% and 4.3% respectively, while also replacing aging planes. Despite the big investment, Air China warns of a potential first-half loss due to soaring fuel costs. This isn’t just one airline’s move—Hainan, China Eastern, and China Southern are also placing giant Airbus orders, signaling China’s aviation comeback and a major shift in global air travel. Airbus is clearly reaping the rewards. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
