Days After Trump Delays Xi Summit, Chinese Carrier Unveils 101-Jet Airbus Deal
Days after President Donald Trump delayed a planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping over the now 26-day-old U.S.-Iran conflict, one of China's top state-owned airlines unveiled a major narrow-body aircraft deal with Airbus.
China Eastern Airlines announced a $15.8 billion deal for 101 Airbus A320neo aircraft on Wednesday, with deliveries scheduled between 2028 and 2032.
The Shanghai-based carrier, which operates domestic and international passenger and cargo flights, said it negotiated prices well below list value and expects to fund the order through a mix of internal resources and external financing, with installment payments not expected to materially affect cash flow or operations.
The timing of the China Eastern Airlines-Airbus deal comes as a report earlier this month said China was expected to announce a massive deal for 500 Boeing 737 Max jets, with possible orders for 100 widebody aircraft, inclu...

China's C919 Jet Faces Delays Despite Big Airline Orders
For once, something China relies on the US for to build is the problem, and not the other way around...
Deliveries of China's first narrowbody jet, the C919, appear to be lagging, with financial reports from the country's top three airlines raising questions about engine supply, the South China Morning Post wrote this week.
Air China and China Eastern each received only one aircraft in the first half of the year despite targeting 10 additions in 2025. China Southern, which expected 12 deliveries this year, reported “financially leased” just three by June, without noting ownership.
Flightradar24 data shows higher totals: Air China and China Southern with five C919s each, and China Eastern with 11. Future plans remain ambitious – Air China expects 10 deliveries in 2026 and 2027, while China Eastern projects nine this year, then 10 each in 2026 and 2027.
SCMP writes that the jet's maker, Comac, aims to challenge Airbus and Boeing,...
