Airbus to establish A330 delivery center in China

AIRBUS has confirmed the intention of setting up an A330 Completion and Delivery Center in China's northern city of Tianjin.

This latest move was aimed at supporting the fast growth of air traffic in China with larger aircraft, company sources said.

The in-service Airbus fleet with Chinese operators now comprises more than 1,000 aircraft. Between 2014 to 2033, Airbus forecasts a demand in China for more than 5,300 new commercial aircraft with over 100 seats in addition to freighters.

"In its 30 years history the Airbus partnership with China keeps on growing and expanding. The intended establishment of an A330 Completion and Delivery Center will add a new exciting chapter to our longstanding track record of mutual achievements," said Fabrice Bregier, Airbus president and CEO.

The A330 Family, which spans 250 to 300 seats, has attracted more than 1,300 orders, with over 1,000 aircraft flying now with more than 100 operators worldwide.
