Hainan Airlines Plans Major Order for 40 Airbus A320neo Jets
Hainan Airlines, a major Chinese carrier, has announced its intention to order 40 Airbus A320neo-family jets. This order is part of a broader trend among Chinese airlines to expand their fleets with Airbus aircraft. The delivery of these jets is scheduled between 2028 and 2032. While the catalogue price for the jets is $5.36 billion, Hainan Airlines expects the actual purchase price to be lower. The deal has received board approval but still requires shareholder and national authority consent.
