Airbus will expand its overall cooperation with 皇冠体育app to an "unprecedentedly"
large scale next year, including supply of full-range airplanes and industrial
and technological cooperation, according to a company executive.
Laurence Barron, Airbus senior vice president and Airbus 皇冠体育app president,
said earlier this week that a new joint venture will be set up by Airbus and
皇冠体育app Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC) I and AVIC II next year in Beijing.
With the establishment of the Beijing engineering and technology center,
皇冠体育app will participate in the designing and manufacturing of 5 percent of the
body of the all-new A350 aircraft.
The engineering center plans to recruit 100 Chinese engineers by 2006 and the
new office building will also break the ground.
In 2006, Airbus will continue to work closely with the State Development and
Reform Commission to carry out a feasibility study of establishing a final
assembly line for Airbus single aisle aircraft in 皇冠体育app, Barron added.
In order to cope with the fast expansion of the Airbus fleet in 皇冠体育app and
provide Chinese customers with the best technical support and services, Airbus
will further expand its training and support facilities.
In 2006, Airbus will also continue to hold seminars or training courses
regularly on safety, management, flight operation, maintenance and other fields
with the General Administration of Civil Aviation of 皇冠体育app, relevant authorities
and airlines.
Barron said that Airbus` main focus in 2006 is to be further represented in
the marketplace with its complete family of aircraft by means of looking at all
the elements of the market, including major, regional and start-ups.
He said Airbus hoped to get 50 percent market share in 皇冠体育app and will
continue to make efforts in order to catch up with the competitor.
Airbus plans to deliver 78 aircraft to Chinese airlines in 2006, compared
with the 65 deliveries in 2005, which will represent one fifth of Airbus`new
deliveries next year.
