Juneyao Airlines Takes Delivery of New Airbus

Juneyao Airlines, a Shanghai-based privately-owned carrier has taken delivery of the 50th aircraft assembled at Airbus’ Final Assembly Line in China (FALC).

“We are pleased to take delivery of the 50th aircraft assembled at FALC to further enhance our all Airbus fleet,” said Wang Junjin, Chairman of Juneyao Airlines. “Our highly reliable A320 Family fleet has demonstrated excellent performance while keeping operational costs low.”

Currently Juneyao operates two A319s and 17 A320s.

“We are proud that the A320 Family plays an important role in the growth of Juneyao Airlines,” said Laurence Barron, Airbus China President. “The 50th delivery is a major milestone for FALC. Airbus will continue providing the best products and services to its Chinese customers.”

The FALC is a joint venture between Airbus and a Chinese consortium comprising Tianjin Free Trade Zone and China Aviation Industry Corporation. Since the first delivery of a FALC assembled A320 Family aircraft to Sichuan Airlines in 2009, 50 A320 Family aircraft, of which seven are A319s and 43 A320s, including the latest delivered to Juneyao Airlines, have been delivered by Airbus in Tianjin to nine Chinese Airlines.
