Airbus has secured orders from Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, and Shenzhen Airlines for a total of 292 A320 Family aircraft, underscoring the recovery momentum and prosperous outlook for the Chinese aviation market.
Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International Christian Scherer said: "These new orders demonstrate the strong confidence in Airbus from our customers. It is also a solid endorsement from our airline customers in China of the performance, quality, fuel efficiency and sustainability of the world's leading family of single-aisle aircraft.”
“We commend the excellent work by George Xu and the entire Airbus China team as well as our customers’ teams for bringing to a conclusion these long and extensive discussions that have taken place throughout the difficult COVID pandemic.”
At the end of May 2022, the in-service Airbus fleet with Chinese operators totalled over 2,070 aircraft and the A320neo Family had totalled more than 8,000 orders from over 130 customers.

Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.
Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
