The A350-900 jets, with a list value of about $6.09 billion, are scheduled for delivery between 2030 and 2032. The 40 A320neo family aircraft, valued at about $6.35 billion, are slated for delivery between 2029 and 2032. Hainan Airlines&#8217; 40 A320neo jets are scheduled for delivery between 2028 and 2032.<br \/>\nAir China said in the filing the actual transaction prices will be lower than the listed values, with Airbus offering significant discounts, a standard practice for sizeable aircraft orders.<br \/>\nThe orders come as Chinese carriers continue to rebuild and expand their fleets following the \u200cpandemic, even \u2060as the country&#8217;s biggest airlines face a more challenging outlook. Air China on Tuesday flagged a net loss of up to 2.6 billion yuan for the first half of the year, saying elevated fuel prices had &#8220;drastically squeezed&#8221; its profit margins.<br \/>\nOther Chinese carriers have also been placing large orders with Airbus. China Eastern Airlines last month said it plans to buy 25 \u2060A330neo jets for about $9.35 billion, after announcing plans in March to purchase 101 A320neo aircraft for about $15.8 billion. In April, China Southern Airlines and its subsidiary Xiamen Airlines agreed to buy 137 aircraft for $21.4 billion.<br \/>\nThe new jets are expected to boost \u2060the total capacity by about 7.1% for the Air China group and 4.3% for Shenzhen Airlines, based on the group&#8217;s combined passenger and cargo capacity as of December 31, 2025, though some of the aircraft will \u2060replace ageing jets being retired.<br \/>\nThe A320neo family competes with the Boeing 737 MAX on medium-haul routes, while the A350-900 is widely used on long-haul international services.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AVIATION NEWS-Three Chinese airlines will buy a combined 95 Airbus aircraft for \u200ca total list price of about $17.8 billion, as carriers in the world&#8217;s second-largest aviation market push to expand capacity and modernise their fleets with more fuel-efficient jets.
