Airbus Lands 145 A320-Family Commitments in China as Air China Confirms 60-Jet Order

Year-end commitments stretching deliveries from 2028 to 2033 highlight tight single-aisle supply in China.

Overview

  • Air China filed to buy 60 A320neo-family jets valued at about $9.5 billion at list prices, with Airbus granting price concessions via credit memoranda and deliveries slated for 2028–2032.
  • China Aircraft Leasing Group placed a firm order for 30 A320neo aircraft with conversion rights across the A320 family, taking deliveries through 2033 and lifting its total Airbus orders to 282.
  • Spring Airlines announced plans for 30 A320-family aircraft and Juneyao Airlines outlined a 25-jet deal, both targeting 2028–2032 deliveries and both pending Chinese government approvals.
  • The late-December cluster totals 145 aircraft across Air China, CALC, Spring and Juneyao, reinforcing Airbus’s position in China’s narrowbody market.
  • The timing of the deals reflects long backlogs and constrained A320-family production slots, with Airbus continuing a multi-year ramp to meet strong demand.
