A further significant step in Airbus’
internationalization and partnership with China
|
AIRBUS has taken additional steps in the expansion of
its global footprint and its strategic partnership with China as construction
gets underway for the Airbus A330
Completion and Delivery Centre
(C&DC) in Tianjin, China.
The A330
C&DC will be co-located at the same site as the Airbus Tianjin A320 Family Final Assembly Line and the Airbus Tianjin
Delivery Centre.
“The ground breaking ceremony for the A330
C&DC in Tianjin marks a new milestone for Airbus’ international footprint
and underlines the strong cooperation with our Chinese partners,” said
Fabrice Brégier, Airbus President and CEO. “This event is significant because
the A330 C&DC in Tianjin is our first completion and delivery centre for
widebody aircraft outside Europe. Airbus’ long-standing cooperation with China
spans single aisle and now also widebody aircraft and we will continue to look
for further opportunities in the future.”
In summer 2014, Airbus, TIANJIN FREE TRADE ZONE (TJFTZ) and AVIATION INDUSTRY CORPORATION OF CHINA (AVIC) signed a framework
agreement on setting up an A330 C&DC in Tianjin. The A330 C&DC Tianjin
will cover the aircraft completion activities including cabin installation,
aircraft painting and flight test, as well as aircraft delivery and customer
flight acceptance.
The A330 Family aircraft to be completed at the A330
C&DC Tianjin will be assembled in Toulouse while painting and cabin fitting
will be performed in Tianjin.
This latest development of Airbus’ cooperation in
China perfectly supports the forecast for passenger air traffic in China which
is set to grow well above the world average of 4.6%. The average annual growth
for the domestic air traffic market in China will be at 6.9% and that for the
international market is forecast to be at 6.8%.
The key underlying factors for
the forecast are as follows: China’s long term economic outlook remains
positive, Chinese middle class continues to increase and Chinese outbound
tourism is expanding.
According to Airbus’ 2015-2034 Global Market
Forecast, new deliveries of passenger aircraft over 100 seats and freighters
greater than 10 tonnes for China will be around 5,400 comprising 3,630 single
aisle aircraft and 1,770 twin-aisle and very large aircraft.
This represents
about 17 per cent of the world total demand for some 32,600 new aircraft in the
same period.
The total market value for the forecast new
aircraft to be delivered to China is over US$840 billion.
At present, the in-service Airbus fleet with
Chinese operators comprises more than 1240 aircraft (over 170 A330 Family and
over 1,000 A320 Family aircraft). Airbus A330 is the most popular wide-body
aircraft in China.
