Hainan Airlines' 40 A320neo jets are scheduled for delivery between 2028 and 2032.
Air 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. The orders come as Chinese carriers continue to rebuild and expand their fleets following the pandemic, even as the country's biggest airlines face a more challenging outlook. 6 billion yuan for the first half of the year, saying elevated fuel prices had "drastically squeezed" its profit margins. Other Chinese carriers have also been placing large orders with Airbus.
8 billion. 4 billion. 3 percent for Shenzhen Airlines, based on the group's combined passenger and cargo capacity as of December 31, 2025, though some of the aircraft will replace ageing jets being retired. The A320neo family competes with the Boeing 737 MAX on medium-haul routes, while the A350-900 is widely used on long-haul international services.
