Airbus expects Tianjin unit to be a hub for aircraft deliveries

BEIJING: European plane maker Airbus is hopeful that more international customers will come to China for aircraft deliveries, according to a top company official.

Airbus’ comments came after Connecticut, US-based GECAS, a subsidiary of General Electric, became the first foreign aircraft lessor to take delivery of an A320neo aircraft assembled at the company’s final assembly line in Tianjin from its own order book.
