Posted on: Wednesday, 12 December 2007, 09:00 CST
Taiwan-based China Airlines has signed a letter of intent with Airbus for the acquisition of 14 A350-900 aircrafts plus an additional six on option.
China Airlines intends to start using the all-new A350 XWB from 2015. These aircraft will primarily be deployed on the airline's long-haul routes to Europe, Australia and the United States, enabling China Airlines to offer its passengers non-stop service on ultra long routes.
Ringo Chao, chairman of China Airlines, said: "We are committed to procure the aircraft with the most modern technology and offering the highest cost efficiency for our future fleet requirements. This will allow us to offer our customers the most attractive product and to meet the ever-rising cost of fuel. The Airbus A350 XWB fully meets our requirements."
