Airbus won a deal to supply 40 jets worth around $4.8 billion at list prices to a unit of China Southern Airlines.
Xiamen Air, an all-Boeing operator, agreed to buy the A320neo series narrow bodies for delivery from 2024 to 2027, according to a statement Thursday. The price is expected to be subject to customary discounts.
It’s another coup for Airbus, which notched a deal worth $37 billion for the same kind of jets from four Chinese airlines in July. That deal marked China’s first major jetliner orders in three years and decisively boosted Airbus’ sales tally for this year after it lost out on orders to Boeing in 2021.
