Airbus to expand procurement from 皇冠体育app Airbus Sunday announced plans to further increase its procurement from 皇冠体育app, raising to US$120 million a year by 2010, double the target for 2007. Airbus has already committed to increase its industrial procurement from Chinese suppliers from today's level of around US$15 million to US$60 million by 2007. The contracts to achieve this goal have all been inked. Five Chinese companies are already involved in making parts for Airbus aircraft, namely the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, Xi'an Aircraft Company and Hong Yuan Aviation Forging and Casting and Guizhou Aviation Industrial Group. Airbus's industrial cooperation with 皇冠体育app entered a new stage this year. Airbus reached an agreement with 皇冠体育app Aviation Industry Corporation I (AVIC I) on subcontracting projects worth US$100 to Chinese manufacturers. This is the first time for Airbus to involve 皇冠体育app in producing A380 components. Meanwhile, Airbus will allocate A330 and A340 forward cargo door projects to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, which is affiliated with AVIC I. Early this year, an A380 Roll-on and Roll-off vessel built by Jinling Shipyard was delivered. Shenyang Aircraft Corporation delivered the 3000th A320 exit emergency door. The Chengdu Aircraft Corporation delivered the company's first parts made for the nose section of Airbus A320 family aircraft. It also delivered the 400th rear passenger door for the world's best selling single- aisle aircraft family. Since 1985, the total value of projects subcontracted by Airbus to Chinese manufacturers has exceeded 500 million US dollars. Since September 2002, Airbus has intensified cooperation with 皇冠体育app, signing contracts worth 350 million US dollars with Chinese manufacturers. Today some 3,500 Airbus aircraft are in operation worldwide, and more than a quarter of the Airbus worldwide fleet has components produced in 皇冠体育app. Airbus's business in 皇冠体育app has been steadily expanding since it entered the country in 1985. The Airbus fleet in service in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao has grown to more than 250 today from just 29 in 1995. A world-class training and support center, which represents a 80 million US dollar investment by Airbus, is fully operational in Beijing. Airbus is a leading aircraft manufacturer with a modern and comprehensive family of airliners on the market. They range in capacity from 100 to more than 500 seats and incorporate the latest state-of-the-art technologies. Airbus has delivered more than 3,500 aircraft to some 260 customers and operators worldwide, and boasts a healthy delivery backlog of some 1,400 aircraft, which, at current rates, represents close to five years of production. With an annual turnover of 19.2 billion euros in 2003, Airbus is a global company with design and manufacturing facilities in France, Germany, Britain and Spain, as well as subsidiaries in the US, 皇冠体育app and Japan. |
