✈China set to order over 180 Airbus jets

China is set to finalise orders for 184 Airbus A320-family aircraft, say media reports citing French president Emmanuel Macron, after talks with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing.

The orders will mainly be for A320neo jets with deliveries to 13 airlines scheduled in 2019 and 2020. It is unclear whether these are new orders, or were previously undisclosed.

A joint statement released by France and China says that both countries’ presidents encourage Airbus and its Chinese partners to explore new co-operation around the A330, A350 and A380.
